Not all lights are triggered by cyclists. I have some lights where I literally have to wait for a vehicle and then hope they stop on or near the sensor. I’ve waiting nearly 5mins sometimes just to be legal, but it’s really ridiculous. So if it’s a red and super clear in both directions it’s worth considering the dash across.
