That might be true for a few blocks, but try driving across a area as big as Baltimore. Given a hour or more driving during rush hour, a speeder will hit more red lights.

I know in Baltimore Maryland the state police will some times drive in a row on I-695 (Inner or Outer Beltway) to force rush hour traffic to drive the speed limit. Nothing like a 30 mile long backup in muliple directions to slow speeders down. While that is not hitting red lights, it has the same effect. The Maryland state police also likes to set up moving checks point on intercounty roads to catch drunk and drugged drivers. Again not a red light. But the moving check point forces speeders to drive at a craw.

How do you speed for an hour in Baltimore during rush hour? Must be like Los Angeles where you have bumper to bumper traffic at 70mph.
