#4> In the UK, in 2009, it was revealed that the Department for Transport had previously discouraged green waves as they reduced fuel usage, and thus less revenue was raised from fuel taxes. Despite this government Webtag documents were only updated in 2011. It is still unclear if the economic appraisal software used to apply these guidelines has also been updated and if the new guidelines are being applied to new projects.
Lovely.

#5The town where I live (in the Netherlands) has green waves for cyclists. It's lovely to experience and also a good way for the council to encourage this sustainable, healthy mode of transport.

Also works really well here in Copenhagen to get to/from the city centre during rush hour.

That's really cool. Though it does seem to remove almost 50% of the benefits listed in this entry, but those seem to be focused on fuel-consuming vehicles rather than bikes.

If it gets more people to bike instead of drive, it still has those benefits.

Were you travellng the opposite direction of most commuters? Green wave only works in one direction.
fwiw, that's one benefit of one-way roads -- they each can be programmed to ensure a green wave for all cars on them. I never understood why you'd want a one-way road (outside small neighborhood streets) until my friend pointed that out.
