Catching Green Lights Challenge rules


Riding through the city without making stops is a joy!
 And it is challenging to ride on green lights only, without making stops.



 How many consecutive GREEN lights can you catch before making a stop? 
The challenge is to go through as many GREEN lights as you can without making stops. 
The player with the highest total score wins. 

Players can compete on a given distance (km/ miles) or a given time (minutes/ hours). 
Players must follow local DOT rules and regulations.
 Each traffic light can be passed only once through the game. 
Going in loops around or in front of the same traffic lights is NOT allowed for this challenge. 
You have to keep moving (your choice how fast or slow) forward the next traffic light. 

The game starts when a player passes the first GREEN light. 
You get a point (+1) for each GREEN light you pass. 
You get a bonus point (+1) for ten (10) consecutive GREEN lights. 
You get nothing (0) for going on a YELLOW light.
 You get a half point (+0.5 ) for making a stop at a YELLOW light. 
You get a half point (+0.5 point) for making a stop at a RED light (or STOP sign as required by DOT rules and regulations). 
You get a minus point (-1) for going through a RED light (or STOP sign) for the first time. 
Everyone deserves a second chance - you get minus three points (-3 points) for the second time you go on a RED light or STOP sign. 
The game is over for you if you go through a third time on a RED light or STOP sign.
 You get a minus point (-1 point) for making any unnecessary stop - this rule is to prevent players from cheating.

 Each player picks only one mode of transportation for the challenge: 
Walking or running; 
Horse riding;
 Riding bike or trike,
 Roller skates, 
Kick scooter;
 Riding bike with electrical assistance;
 Riding electrical or motorized bikes without pedals;
 Motor bike; 
Car or truck. 

Any number of players is allowed in this game. 
The best winning strategy for this game is to look for the next traffic light and adjust your speed accordingly. 
Slow down if you see a RED or YELLOW light ahead of you as to make it to the traffic light in the time it would change to the GREEN 
Stay focused and you will get the highest score.

 Not fun facts: distractions, drinking, and speeding are the most common causes of accidents on streets.
 The catching GREEN lights challenge game is designed to promote safety above all for everyone. 
Safety and fun! 
Fun for, I would like the Catching Green Lights Challenge to go by an abbreviation -
CGLightsC.
For more fun I will post videos of my rides for you to rate them.
And I will make CGLightsC subreddit for everyone to have a place to talk and brag about your CGLightsC: https://www.reddit.com/r/CGLightsC/

Going on RED lights is a bad habit. 
Challenge yourself to play the CGLightsC game with your friends and family, teach your kids. 
It is probably the best way for you to teach kids the good habit of going without rushing on GREEN lights only.
 A good habit that saves lives. 

I designed this challenge (or game if you wish) to teach myself the habit of moving safely across the city in all kinds of traffic. 
And I wish you would too. 

With this in mind, I, Michael Langerman, with the blessing and full support of my family am releasing the Catching Green Lights Challenge game under

You are FREE and WELCOME to use the Catching Green Lights Challenge game as you like as long as you mention the original authors - Langerman family www.fewdoit.com
Have fun and be safe :)
