Damn Traffic Lights

I drove up to the Voorheesville Traffic light this evening, waited for three minutes — there was over a 1/4 mile traffic backed up behind me — and the light never turned green. I tried rolling forward, but still couldn’t trip the damn induction loop.

Ultimately, ended up running the red — the light turned as soon as the next car moved up the sensor.

This happens from time to time — but it’s been happening more frequently for me. I wonder if the DOT has turned down the sensitivity on the induction loops. It’s not like I replaced my truck with a completely plastic vehicle.
