About a year ago, I'm sitting at a light I stop at every day, and a guy stops behind me on a motorcycle, way way behind me. I wave him up and tell him "I need more metal on the loops to make this light flip, they don't have it adjusted right". Turns out he's a local cop, off duty, and he says he'd mention it to the right folks.
3 days later, light changes whenever I'm on it.
They can adjust these things, they just don't think to do it.
