355 Lights not timed in Bethesda/Rockville

| Why aren't the lights timed better between Cedar and Old Georgetown? It seems you can never make more than 1 light unless you are going 10+ MPH over the speed limit. If it's to slow down traffic, that seems like a waste of our time, money, gas, and unnecessary pollution. It also encourages cell phone usage because we're all just sitting at lights while no one goes on the perpendicular streets. I live at one of these intersections and I always observe myself at a red light waiting to turn onto the Pike/355 while no one goes through the green lights on 355. Then once a bunch of cars show up, signaling the previous light has turned green, the light changes for them to red. It makes them speed up and fly through the yellow or red light. Anyone else constantly annoyed at these lights not being in sync? |

| I used to work in that industry, there is no such thing as timed lights. |

There def is. If you go the speed limit down Connecticut you can make all of the lights. |

And also traveling on Route 1 through Old town Alexandria. They are beautifully timed. You must not have worked in MoCo Transportation. It's clearly a mess. |

| You can contact the department of transportation. Either they need to revisit their timing algorithm, or there is a specific reason why they set it up like that. |

When did you work in that industry? Before 1930s? |

| I find most of 355 to be very well timed. I am not down by Cedar very often though. |

| Switch to an EV. Then light timing isn’t an issue anymore. |

EV’s don’t waste energy sitting at a light like a regular car does, dummy 
You must’ve studied science at trump university.
