Traffic Signals

Everyday after school I go home the exact same way. I drive out and have to make what is called a "Michigan Left" (which is a completely separate grumble) and then I drive about 1.5 miles and come up to a traffic signal. Every single time I come up to this light, it turn red. The speed limit on the street is 45, so I tried driving exactly 45 mph. and I can see it turning red as I am pulling up to it. The next day, I drive 65 mph and guess what, I can see the promise land, a beautiful green light staring right at me, and then I get close and BLAMMO yellow and then red. The day after that I drive 25 mph on this stretch of road and people are flying past me and blaring their horns at me, but I have a goal in mind so I am able to ignore all the distractions. Then in the distance I see the light, and its green. I think that I might actually win today, but no I am disappointed just like I am everyday. The worst part is its always the same spot when I see the light turn red. If anyone has a solution, please let me know.
