For the longest time, I never had a problem. Lately though, I've been stuck a lot more often. Like they've desensitized the detectors. One intersection in particular has a shitload of traffic one direction, and none at times in the other. If I get caught the wrong way at the wrong time, I've waited 10 minutes before I just found a gap in traffic and made the left. Same thing at a construction site last weekend- one lane, pitch black, around a corner. WTF do ya do there? After three minutes I put my sidestand down on the sensor. NOTHING. After 10 minutes, a cage pulled up behind me and it triggered right away. I was about ready to run it and just prepare to slip into the cones if something came the other way.

can always push the cross walk button too (if there is one)
I just run it, cause if there is a cop behind you, they'll trip the light, and if there is a cop coming the other way, you shouldn't be going anyway, cause it's not clear
