Higest Average...

[ArDee]

A lot of people commuting seem to travel in towns.

My 21km commute is mostly through countryside, so I only have 3 sets of lights (all pelican crossings) and 7 roundabouts. This works out at an average of 3km per roundabout and 7km per set of lights.

Is this the highest average here?

I cycle 8 miles and go through roughly 55 sets of lights (average = 1 set per 230 metres). Fewer roundabouts. Maybe only 3 or 4

I vary my route, one of the routes is only about 4.6mile (7.4km) and i only encounter 5 light, one mini roundabouts, thats only about set lights every 0.9 miles (1.5km) but its about 80% off road (an old railway path). The other way i go is a bit shorter, steeper and all on road, 3.5 miles (5.6km) and I encounter only 6 sets of lights and 1or2 full roundabouts. Thats an average of about set of lights every 0.6 miles (0.9km).

I think we had a similar thread on C+ before - the London counts were shocking!

 

[skwerl]

do you count ped xings?

 

[walker]

I cycle 20 miles each way, from Dartford to the West end, I'd do around 20-30 set's of light's on the way in

Streatham to the Strand, I have 41 sets in 6.5 miles.... good training sprinting between them!

 

[palinurus]

8.8 miles, six sets of lights (three crossings, three at junctions), three large roundabouts, loads of pathetic little roundabouts.

 

[Dayvo]

11 sets of lights in 9 km. But I don't bother stopping at them! (only joking - but I'm normally on the road early when there is next to no traffic, so I use common sense).

 

[stu20001]

39 sets in 14 miles including crossings which is why, I will freely admit, I jump those that I consider to be safely jumpable

Snap! Only I do it when driving my white van.

 

[DustBowlRefugee]

I s'pose that means I can jump lights in my car, if it's safe?
