ARE WE SERIUOS ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING IF WE CANNOT HELP MPG?

We hear much ado about climate change and Electric powered no road tax autos. Don’t worry soon the tin hats will find a method to impose a tax. They must go after the Golden Egg Goose. They cannot leave any stone un-turned. What screams for correcting is stop and go traffic congestion. Watch your trips on major arteries during early morning and before dinner. The waste of fuel in jammed traffic is a problem our regulators never seem to address. The effort should be easy to minimize. Two Gloucester County road-ways have a systematic work-day affliction, of stop and go. Stop for a light then accelerate only to stop for the next red light. With computerization light could be timed so reasonable mph speeds would facilitate greater traffic flow in the direction of the flow in the morning and evenings. In a jammed city like Philadelphia the one-way traffic on Chestnut Street from Cobbs Creek Parkway (63rd street) to center city (15th Street) lights were timed at 20 mph. One could travel three to four miles while seldom catching a stop light. If that was accomplished in the 50’s and 60’s what the hell is wrong with New Jersey? Maybe a few mpg would be saved by hundreds of motorists each workday.
