Abstract:

According to the Federal Highway Administration and the Department of Energy, states can help citizens save gas and money by synchronizing traffic signals. This is a more efficient system to keep a maximum amount of traffic flowing. Another big gas saver is the law allowing right turns on red, now legal in every state.
