Red Wave

A green wave is every driver's favorite: it's a term used to describe a series of green lights, usually done intentionally on main roads to ensure traffic flow. However, there is also the opposite, and it's really annoying. It's a red wave.

A red wave is every driver's nightmare, and it happened to me not long ago. It was just amazing. Every traffic light I had along the way, and I had quite a few, was red. It was simply annoying. This red wave added quite a few minutes to my trip.

Well, hopefully my next trips will be better than that.

Have a great weekend!

Green Waves - My Favorite Style of Driving

Traffic lights can be a big disturbance if you like smooth driving. However, there is one situation which allows you to drive the way you want - green waves.

A green wave happens when all traffic lights are synchronized to have a green light together. This helps you move quickly when you are on a main road which needs smooth traffic flow. There is nothing better than that.

I really enjoy those green waves, but sadly they are hard to get in some places. However, they are really easy to get at night, so try it out.

Have a great weekend,

My Favorite Driving Time

Like last Saturday, I want to make this post a little more personal than usual. And today: my favorite driving time.

Well, I like driving at night. Really late at night. Not nine, but more towards eleven o'clock or even midnight. There is no better time than this to drive in my area.

And why is that? Because at that time, the road is empty. Totally clear. Traffic lights on the main road, which is close to where I live and runs until a big city 13 km away, have a sensor system. The sensor system detects where cars are present and gives a green light according to this data. For example, if no one wants to turn left on a particular road, then the left turn light will stay red and give oncoming traffic the green light.

At night, when the road is empty, the sensor system gives a green light to the main road. Driving on this road at night is a dream. No cars, no red lights. Driving from my house to the big city nearby can take no more than 10 minutes. Just like a highway.

What is your favorite driving time? Feel free to share!
Yours,
Nadav
