Broad St., Market St, and lights around City hall-i've never noticed synchronization nor has it worked for me. Maybe late late into the night (or early before dawn) but I don't drive that late anyways. I go through one light and need to wait for the next light before proceeding is more common when I have to drive.

Walnut St. for example when heading out (or coming back in) from (to) West Philly at night time past 7:30 pm, the synchronization works well due to lower traffic volume and you can "time" those lights changing from red to green without using your brake and gas pedal if you do 20-25mph.

You can take advantage in certain situations if you know when and how, but with other drivers wanting to get ahead of you or riding your ass, it's not worth it. I usually just go with the flow of traffic.
