I have one of those on my route. I got in touch via email with the city transportation people, who put me in contact with the county people. The city people proposed a sensor on the right that would be so many feet high, that would detect cyclists. That was a year ago, and my request is still pending.
Cars can trip the light, but it is at a college entrance/exit, where in the summer time few cars come that way, so I run the redlight before the oncoming traffic can turn left. It was never explained to me why I am unable to trip the light, as I trip every other light better than most cars. I love coming to a red light when cars are sitting there, and the light trips for me.
Nice ride in today, and it was somewhere in the high 50s F (mid to lower teens C). I am not ready for the -4 C (25 F). I should be ok for another month or so, before I have to start dealing with those temps. I love the hot weather, even though the air quality is usually bad. Dressing up with all that clothing in winter turns me into a zombie rider going from point A to point B and back again.
