Southern California - Is it just me?

It seems like most lights on PCH and University Ave in Irvine are timed against cyclists. It seems like if you are going between 15-20mph you are hitting red light on every major intersection.

Take it up to 35mph and see what happens...:D

No its not just you....my 2 mile commute in irvine takes me through 3 sets of lights and it at least doubles my time to what it should take....have you seen those Cyclist buttons on every traffic light post next to the kerb?? They're a great idea but they don't work...but like an idiot I keep pressing them.

They just activated another set of lights between Culver and Harvard. They are timed. Brilliant idea considering there is almost no traffic from those side streets. :rolleyes:

Actually that intersection (University & San Joaquin) has had an average of 8 serious accidents per year and multiple fatalities. It serves over 750 homes as well as a golf course, tennis club, and senior center. There is actually quite a bit of traffic going in and out of there.
