I'll try these out next time I'm on the road. Another one to add to the 'hate' list: - Franklin from Market to California is great after hours, but Franklin north of California is timed to an excruciating 10 miles an hour in the wee hours of the morning. I don't get it. Did the Pac Height/Cow Hollow lobby get DPT to change the timing for their neighborhood only? @who_the: These are great!

You'll almost always bypass what can be an interminable red; * If you want to make a left from northbound Masonic onto Geary, check for a red light before the previous signal light at Anza. If the Geary light is red, but the Anza light is green, make a left on Anza, go down three blocks, make a right on Blake, and then a left on Geary. There's no light at Blake and you'll miss two lights on Geary at Masonic and then Collins; * Be careful of Golden Gate Avenue after hours. Things go great until you get to Gough; after that, you're almost certain to miss three long lights at Franklin, Van Ness, and then at Polk. This troubles me because Golden Gate is a favorite route of mine when the lights don't trap you. Here’s three I think you’ll like (plus one I hate):

* Make a right at Florida from southbound Cesar Chavez (then a left on Precita) to bypass the red light at Cesar Chavez @ Bryant;

* If you want to make a left on Van Ness from eastbound Mission but have missed the light, make a right onto South Van Ness at the corner of Mission & Van Ness, then a quick U-turn back onto Van Ness at the cutout to make a left onto 12th Street.
