The thing I like is the fact that I could slow down if I know the light is changing instead of using brakes. Think coming up to a light knowing there is 3 seconds left you are likely to gradually slow down instead of slam the brakes on so you can keep rolling.

I have the timing down on some of the lights in my city so I can time how long I have before the light changes. This saves me some gas and some brake wear and tear.

Even with progress bar, the time you have to wait is STILL THERE, only you can see it ticking away. You did not eliminate it.]]>Dec 8th 2009 6:33AM
