Three days in a row of green lights on my 19th street route

I swear the timing on the lights between Oak and Elm on my drive home is usually cursed, but last week I hit every single green light for three straight days. It felt like the universe was finally on my side after months of sitting through that 4-minute red at Main Street. Made it home in 22 minutes instead of the usual 35, which gave me time to actually cook dinner. Has anyone else ever had a weirdly perfect commute streak like that?

Doubt that streak would last if you checked the data. The lights are timed to keep traffic moving at certain speeds, so hitting them all just means you got lucky on your driving pace that week. Enjoy it while it lasts because the universe usually evens things out with a red light marathon.

Try driving 5 under the speed limit next time and watch those red lights line up perfectly.
