I literally just walked in the door after waiting in vain (on a bicycle, not a motorcycle) for the light to change at an intersection a quarter mile from my house. I use this intersection two to four times a day, so tripping the signal is important to me. The city of Belmont, in its infinite wisdom, recently changed it from a regular cycle to a “cross street green for ten seconds if and only if a car is detected.” Sometimes I can ride in small circles to trigger it, but that seems unsafe.
I have two questions about the list: one, what is “a cycle” if the light never changes? And two, FIFTEEN MINUTES?
