Not quite sure how to discribe it, but over the past few weeks, i've noticed several times that i'll be sitting through several lights. say your turning left, around my area the stoplights have seners underground that are supposed to sense when there is someone in that turn lane, otherwise it won't give a green arrow. this past week, i've been at three lights that have cycled through three times without giving me a green arrow. i know for a fact i'm not over the stop line, or even on it. i've even had passengers that have witnessed this. it's been very odd. drivers several cars behind me start honking, so i have to move way above the stop line, so the car behind me can move over the sensor. then i'll get the green light. this occasionally will happen at freeway metering ramps as well.

Anyone else had this problem?

that happened to me just couple of weeks ago...I was waiting for a left turn but i guess i wasnt paying attention so it went from green to red so then i waited like 4-5 cycles and my light didnt turn once...it was weird...ending up making the left turn on the following street's stop sign

Happens to me sometimes too.

Could be the fact that the engine is mostly aluminum with is not magnetic.

Y'all just passed the line thats all. once u passed it, it doesn't sense that u r there.. is hard to explain it but u have to just stop right before the line

This has only happened to me one time before. Usually i don't have a problem.

It sucks on a bike, Any one that has a Motorcycle knows what I'm talking about, I have ran many red lights waiting and waiting.

Never had a problem in any car.

Some lights are time controlled too, so that may be why.

Any solution?

or maybe because the entire top of our cars is glass? idk

no problems here

if ur familiar with the roads u take and where the sensor is at jsut stop on it... you would believe the people i see that had a green for like 5 seconds :D

joonsmart

if it won't turn green, try flash ur high light 3 times..then it will turn green on the next round..try it out...

you have to have the frame/metal of your car over the stop line to trigger sensors.

i know i'm stopping before the line (front of bumper is behind the line). not even a bit on it.

as for flashing lights, thats great and all, but this problem is usually only occuring during the day. but it really doesn't help with the metered ramps.

i know it's not a big deal, but it's happened to me twice this week. just frustrating.
