Think about that. Really... think about it. How long does that "guy" have to speed to catch the green wave? Perhaps 1 or 2 blocks?

If you want to talk about hypothetical people speeding to catch a green light, why not sight the "de facto guy" who speeds up to EVERY SINGLE intersection on two way streets. If you want to talk about the potential to speed, there is more of an argument to be made for two way than there is for one way. There is much more potential reward for speeding at non synched two ways than there is for synched one ways.

I'm not sure how much driving you do Jason, I could be wrong, but I'm going to guess not much. For those that drive a lot, I encourage you to watch your speedometer (briefly) while you are on the one way part vs two way parts of Main and other two way or one way streets. I'm not talking Main compared to some tiny two way... I'm talking Main or Cannon compared to streets like Barton or Main through Stoney Creek. I'm not proud of it, but I know that I (and those in cars around me) speed a lot more frequently and at higher speeds on two way streets than I do on one way streets.
