[@jaythomaso9311]

Stanford and Herron technically didn't "get" most of their green lights, they triggered them because they were the only cars pulling up to the light at the time. I can drive around my city without stopping at 3 a.m. too

[@peternoble735]

Some STRONG "Tortoise and the Hare" energy from Scott in this one.

[@danielsimard7904]

I live in Columbia SC, USA. I clean pools. Leaving my last job, headed back to the shop, I didn't catch a single red light. I made 58 consecutive green lights. From Kings Grant near fort Jackson along Devine Street, gervais street, sunset blvd to Pete Alewine Pool and spa. This was around 2:30 pm. Haven't come close since, it was a miracle.

[@meatballpit]

I live near Charleston and know the area you're talking about sir. Truly a miracle and hats off to you. Bravo

[@markieman64]

I really loved this one, boys! How awesome was the guy's energy at 3:27? Gosh. To be that passionate about your work!

[@nialli2000]

That guy needs his own channel!

[@rodrigocampos1302]

He is a real MVP

[@TheRealWilliamWhite]

[@Linguinestick6]

Seriously! He makes me want to work with him on traffic analytics.

[@freespirit6705]

Yeah great video ..NOT there content has hit an all time low, very boring

[@YingwuUsagiri]

In The Netherlands many of our ring roads that let you travel around/through a city work on a principle called a "Green Wave". If you accelerate and drive the proper speed limit of the ring road you'll reach the next traffic light when it turns green so that you can continuously travel on it without interruption. Any other roads however, tough luck and good luck getting green after green! Also if this was done here I'd do it at night because based on the commentary clearly yellow lights count as well and here most of the traffic lights are permanently yellow during night time with the exception of continuously busy roads.

[@fisher_ryan]

that's actually so smart

[@thomaswodarek1257]

That's why I was initially surprised that they were getting up in the middle of the night. Around here, everything changes over to yellow-flashing or red-flashing lights overnight, because the traffic volumes just don't make sense to have traffic lights managing the flow of vehicles

[@LarkspeedNL]

You may have mostly yellows at night in your part of The Netherlands but in my part we have none. Traffic lights register the approach of vehicles so at night when there is light or no traffic on the road you would get green pretty well constantly no matter what speed you are driving at. if you approach a red and there is no cross traffic it will be green before you get there.

[@LuigiLBL]

Same thing here in Curitiba, Brazil. If I mantain a Constant Speed in the main ring roads we can Go 15km and more than 20 Green lights in a row.

[@s1gne]

Also in the Netherlands sometimes there are indicator lights that tell you if you are in the green wave or not. If you are not, just lower your speed a bit and you are in the green wave again. In the middle of the night some trafic lights where there is low traffic the lights get set to blinking amber lights, that means caution and normal crossroad rules apply (right gets to go first) but you can just drive on if there is no traffic or if you come from the right for other road user (so they are left from you).

[@itstotallyamber]

I've never seen someone so amped to talk about traffic lights/traffic control XD but I love the passion that came across!

[@katelynnperdue4912]

[@matthewrowell8518]

As a truck driver in Australia I can promise the best time to get a green streak is super early. Gone one side of Adelaide to the other with no reds constantly around 3-4am

[@X22GJP]

“As a”…why do people start with that like it makes them sound authoritative? Why not just say, “I’m a truck driver in America…”. Besides, with no truck driving experience myself, I can promise that with every ounce of common sense, the best time to get a green streak in most places with well managed traffic light systems is super early…it’s not going to be 5pm weekdays is it?

[@some-guy-in-the-internet]

​​@@X22GJPWell, I guess he has the right to feel like he has more authority / experience on the subject because most truckers do actually have a lot more experience driving on the road for long hours experiencing road traffics at any time of day compared to most other people who probably just drive to / from work at the same time every day. It's kind of uncalled for to react that way for someone just sharing their own personal experience... 😅

I wish my city had that guy's level of commitment to optimizing lights because in my city I think they're with the oil companies to make you consistently wait at every light to waste gas and have to keep accelerating and using more gas

[@BiggestRedditor]

I can assure you your city isn’t working with oil companies. Your city might not even have a room of people doing traffic lights throughout the day depending on how small the city is. Some cities are using AI and some cities just set them on timers that can’t be changed remotely. Traffic lights like this work based on averages and some days the path you’re taking takes you out of that and puts you in a category that they aren’t concerned with. When you’re getting frustrated at lights someone else is having a perfect run with them hitting every green. It was a 20 minute long edited video and you’re comparing it to what you experience daily. You think they don’t experience the same frustration with lights you’re talking about?

[@iamitsk]

Same thing happens in most cities of my country but I don't think there's an ulterior motive behind that. The traffic control is set up by idiots who don't want to give as much effort into thinking about our fuel conservation.

[@Ducky69247]

​@@BiggestRedditorlmao at the room of people controlling traffic lights idea 😂🤣 Can you imagine?

Yo, this was brilliant, and funny. Poor Gaunson...slept on those AM runs.

Between 1:00 AM and 6:00 AM in my hometown there is a series of traffic lights that used to remain green all night on Main St, unless someone actives the sensor on a cross street. People used to try and make it through all 33 green lights that were on this road without catching a red. I had heard of many people claiming to do it, but I never made it all the way to 33. The city changed how the lights work after there were a series of accidents from drivers running a red light in order to complete the run. No deaths, but there were some totaled vehicles. Some idiots just ruin the fun for everyone else.
