Yesterday I drove 70km on a straight road passing roughly 25 traffic lights and most of them were red. It got me thinking, what is the possibility for me to go through all of them green?
So on the way back, I maintained nominal speed of 90km/hr to see if maybe I would pass more green lights. It only got worse. I only saw more red.
Is it fate, probability, causality or just pure choice?
Can the system be governed? I think it is just a matter of synchronization, interface and simple physics (and some budget). So yes, I think the system can be controlled.
To think that engineers are busy cracking up quantum mechanics. We can't even set a simple velocity-based timer traffic lights in Malaysia.
Or is it up to town-planners?

Don't be fooled by the following picture. Really.
Terms and condition apply.
Bro, there's a controller for each traffic light on the road. The controller can be link with other traffic light to make sure that the person who pass traffic light A will pass traffic light B without the need to stop with the speed limit on that particular strecth as the 3rd variable. And most traffic light in Malaysia now has a sensor on the road to tell send the signal 'hey, there's car over here. make it green'. But still, you have to wait for your turn. Other junction also got car maaa...
