I heard there is a certain speed which will insure that you hit all
the lights green in Manhattan - like, 27MPH. That's what I heard, but
I don't think it's correct. Once you catch a red, if there's no
traffic, you can pretty much ride the wave of lights turning green
ahead of you - if the taxis don't get you first. :) I've made
several 20-30 block uptown runs without catching a red, but have yet
to try for the whole island. :)
