Sure, Al.

On a lot of the lights around town, I know they will pick me up and cycle thru the light in due time. I wait. At unfamiliar intersections, when I see no traffic behind me, or opposite me, to trigger the sensor, and I personally feel my parking my bike over the sensor does not trigger the light cycle (m/l 15 secs?) I decide if I will try to progress once I can clear the intersection safely. And sometimes I don't.

Sometimes, there's very little cross traffic, while a sole bicyclist stands at the intersection of a minor street and an arterial, waiting endlessly for the signal to change. Screw that.

I don't even think my approach is legal in WA.
