I cannot imagine how many thousands of $$$ that small stretch of highway brings to NYC DOT every day.
No there's a camera capturing people proceeding eastbound on 110th st when they cross the light at Manhattan Av. The timing at the previous light (Columbus, I think??) has you right at the light on a red. Also further uptown on Dyckman St right before the entrance to the Harlem River Drive. The preceding light has you making a left or right from Nagle Avenue and proceeding east to an ALMOST red light.

Again, if you drive at a reasonable speed, you will be at the light just as it turns red. I'm sure 75% of the lights are strategically timed.
