There is a road near where I used to live that was the opposite. Speed about 10mph over the limit (55 in a 45) and it would be green all the way. Go the speed limit and you get stopped at every single light. It was shockingly reliable. The difference between speeding and going the speed limit was 15 minutes on a 20 minute drive. The only time it got broken up was the one intersection with a pedestrian crosswalk where people sometimes hit the button.

Of course traffic was heavy enough that you'd be stuck behind someone doing the speed limit most days, but sometimes you got to ride the wave.

As I wrote in another post, there's a highway near me where you almost always hit every red light, but it's designed such that going say 20% over the limit won't work either. I believe some people deliberately go 20% under to reduce the waiting.
