Last time I did this (which was at least 13 years ago according to this https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/127456/#comment5885493) was when I worked in the City. Think it was just under 100 lights in a ~19k commute or one every ~195m. This was only proper lights - no ped crossings or temporary lights.
I might do another count from this place.
I counted traffic lights this morning.
There are 72 traffic lights* on my commute to work. My commute is 12.7 kilometres (according to Google Maps) so this is one traffic light every 176 metres.
FASCINATING.
*defined as those lights at which I would have to stop were I in a queue of traffic.
