the light turns green as a bus approaches the intersection (let's say, as soon as the bus hits the prior corner the signal for the intersecting traffic turns yellow).

my town has not only lights that respond to ambulances (there's a strobe receptor on top of the light) but also red-light cameras. I set them off pretty routinely at 6am when crossing the empty street against the light!

But since you don't have a license plate on your bike they can't catch you! But the legality of the red light cameras is in dispute and they might not be around much longer.

actually i think most of the cops in this town would probably recognize me - i ride past their station around shift-change time & see a lot of them on the road. I gotta stick out as the only cyclist helmeted, lighted, & going fast they ever see
