    Lots of intersections in the area are also run on video detection, so you may not necessarily see the loops cut into the pavement for a signal to be actuated.

    Mine usually doesn’t. The sensitivity is a tunable, so it might sometimes. (I’d generally only notice if the light didn’t change…) Usually they have the sensitivity turned down to reduce false positives (and because they don’t care about anyone not in a car).

    Irony. Last week there was a work crew out doing something at one of the 3 lights I always run on my commute because they never change for a bike and cars are too few to wait for one to trip the sensor. Today I ride up to the light (on the aluminum commuter), and it cycles almost immediately. Don’t know if they did something specifically for bikes or if that was just a happy side effect.

    (One of the other two didn’t cycle until a car came up, then cycled immediately, and the other I just ran as usual.)
