Yes. Thank you. I am surprised this is not brought up more. There is a ridiculous amount of lights along what should be one of the fastest stretches of the LRT.

I consistently find that the LRVs I'm on get through that stretch unimpeded by any of those lights save the one coming out of the GRH stop heading southbound. The signal priority through here is almost uncanny.

It's a shame that drivers have to creep their LRVs up to the lights and then stop on the loop to trip the signals when coming out of the stations though, that wastes sooo much time. They should be able to activate them as they're closing the doors.

The Hayward jog is a constant snail show. I keep hoping it will improve after every weekend closure for signal work in that area, but it just doesn't.  Sad
