How do I deal with a Left Turn on Green Arrow Only intersection when the sensors won t trip the light?
You can t change lanes: the driver s handbook makes it clear that that s not legal. You can t leave the bike and push the pedestrian crossing button, for that s abandoning your bike. Common wisdom has it that if you wait through three cycles, then the light is obviously malfunctioning, and you should treat it as a stop sign. The safe thing to do is to wait until there s a green light for the other lanes and then to proceed. Cops have been known to give tickets in this circumstance. Subpoena them and challenge the ticket in court.
