I do this one trip a week. The trick is to pick stops that are far enough apart that you can safely pedal all out for 30-60 seconds at high resistance and still have 60 seconds to recover while slowly spinning. I have 4-5 intersections, plus a few long stretches of MUP depending on which route I use. I get about 8 intervals.
It's probably suboptimal from a HIIT viewpoint, but better than not doing it.
