Combining both the concepts of the "rest in red" along with speed tracking sensors, those going at or under the posted speed limits can be rewarded with early green lights at the intersections.

I had thought this too, but in the article they mentioned speed sensors that track the speeds of vehicles in one (maybe two?) of these cities. So I think it's a mix of both of those things, with them probably preferring the preferential approach.
