Manhattan Driver Times It Perfectly To Hit 55 Green Lights In A Row

Drivers used to navigating New York City know the best time to drive is late at night, when most cars are off the streets and you can get a long stretch of green lights cruising down a major thoroughfare.

With that knowledge in hand, YouTube user Tim Burke has taken that logic to the extreme.

Driving downtown on 5th Avenue around 3 a.m., he hit 55 consecutive green lights. The video of the feat explains his approach - go just fast enough to keep hitting greens, without having to stop at a red before the change.
