I used to live by one of those. I suppose you can argue that I could have picked a different path, but the alternative was a couple miles out of my way. I'd simply wait a reasonable amount of time, make sure the road was very clear, and go.
had friend ... the short route to work involved a light his bike (Yamaha 100) wouldn't trigger. Long route was about 20 miles longer.
In some states there is a provision in the law for non-responsive traffic lights.
Common sense solves most problems ... which is why so few problems get solved.
