One hour plus traffic to get to work. I'm suspicious our traffic engineer times the lights to cusses us all to waste more gasoline - better for my city's economy So they say.

I know a blimp RV size with Briggs & Strattons can bypass all the traffic I see every day. I would deflate it in the parking lot. - I need a pilots license to even dare dream to attempt this. Blimps / drones - big time difference legally

Old Idea of a similar sort. [Vernon, Oct 13 2016]

       Actually, your traffic engineer probably times it for an average speed that is significantly less than the speed limit. Why they don't lower the speed limit as well so that people know this, I do not know.   

       Anyway, you'll have to find somewhere to store your lifting gas. Big high pressure tanks in the parking lot? Hazardous, particularly if you're using hydrogen...

       Because it's a limit, not a recommendation?

       How long would it take to fill and deflate?

       Well, at least it's not in other:general.

       //an average speed that is significantly less than the speed limit//
I've met some roads that (seem to...) have the lights sequenced for faster than the speed limit. You can only "get the run" if you drive at 60km/h...

       Based on reading the title, I completely misunderstood what this idea was going to be about. I thought it would be an idea about how to present a sort of fake, acted superiority - in the same way as "Air Guitar" is a sort of pretend guitar playing.

       Well, no, it's definitely a fake/pretend touchscreen computing device ...
