If you must hit the brakes to maintain speed on a downgrade, use the brakes in bursts, don't put gentle constant pressure on the brake pedal, you want to give the metal parts of the brakes time to cool down.

in traffic lights, why is the red light always on top or on the left side when sideways?

If equipped with overdrive take vehicle out of overdrive mode and you should be fine. On downgrades make sure vehicle is doing posted speed before going downhill. I drive a semi and was always trained to start the top of the hill 5 mph slower than the posted speed limit and to keep a light steady pressure on brake pedal so as not to over rev motor
