I have to wonder if more people complaining about the same sensor gets them off the dime or if they just don't take a cyclist's complaint seriously. In their minds, a sensor that doesn't trigger for a bicycle may not be considered "malfunctioning." For all I know, they might just ignore every one of those forms that are submitted.
We have a similar thing here... I've gotten mixed results... Actually got a video sensor in road area near my house due to constant complaining. Works well for road repairs... takes about 6 weeks.
