Gene, it is 7/10ths of a mile from I-5 to Regents Rd along LJ Village Drive. There is one light in between, at Lebon, but it is often green in the mornings during my commute, and motorists blow through there at 50 mph. 7/10ths of a mile is plenty of time to get up to 50 mph, and I do it every time I drive to work. And I'm travelling with traffic when I do so. This is the section I'm thinking of. There is onstreet curb parking between I-5 and Lebon, and then more after Lebon up to Regents. Through that section I ride in the center of the right lane with 50 mph traffic coming from behind, and beside me.

Maybe you're thinking of LJ Village drive further east where the lights are closer together (Regents, Genesee, Executive Way, Towne Centre Drive)? In the .7 miles between Regents and Towne Centre there are 4 lights that are usually red.... But that's not part of my commute (I turn left/north on Regents Rd, then continue east on Eastgate).
