Greenville Spartanburg Asheville Anderson, SC, September 13, 2026 — A recent exploration into a curious traffic phenomenon has highlighted an unusual driving experience on a key Asheville-area roadway. An opinion piece detailed an investigation into a claim that a journalist encountered an uninterrupted series of green lights along a significant portion of Hendersonville Road, identified as U.S. 25.
The author of the opinion piece approached the assertion with initial skepticism. To test the validity of the claim, the author and a companion undertook a drive along the specified stretch of Hendersonville Road during a morning period. During this particular excursion, they reported observing a surprisingly high number of green traffic signals.
However, the experience was not uniform. According to the account, the pattern of green lights did not persist when driving in opposite directions or at different times of the day. The opinion piece also noted that the overall traffic conditions were influenced by other factors, including documented traffic delays and ongoing construction work in the area. The specific number of green lights encountered, the exact length of the road segment tested, or the specific times of day for the varied experiences were not provided in the summary of the opinion piece.
