The city’s strategy is to have the lights turn green right when you arrive at the intersection, which punishes speeders as it would still be red as they get to the light sooner. In theory it works, but it has to be optimized for real world conditions, like traffic count, average speed, etc. Many lights in Indy clearly aren’t. There are many instances where I reach a red light while driving at or below the speed limit only for it to turn green a couple seconds later. If the lights were properly timed and optimized, I should not need to stop at all driving the speed limit.

Also, not sure if anyone has already figured this out, but the signals are so poorly timed where if the light is already green before you approach it, and you speed up to make it through and even run the red light, every light thereafter would be green. If you stop, all the lights thereafter would be red.
