there's a 3 or 4 mile stretch of road in san francisco called the great highway that's like this (https://www.google.com/maps/@37.750302,-122.5062241,14.64z)

It was one my little pleasures to drive along that at 35 (or 30, I forget what the speed limit was) and see cars zip ahead at each light at 45, only to watch them ride the brakes as they hit the next red.
