In some places here in germany there are separate small induction sensors on the cycle-lane. They work. 👍

That’s not enough ferrous metal in my scooter to trigger most lights in my town. Once a dude on Harley sidled up next to me in the lane to get the lights to see us. He gave me a job and said, “It *should* see both of us.”
It was kinda funny, and he didn’t even disrespect me for being on a scooter. At least not openly, anyway.

There’s a set of lights in my home town on a road that is only for busses, taxis and bicycles. The lights remain on red until they detect a vehicle approaching. They are not calibrated for cyclists at all.
As a cyclist I either have to go on red, which isn’t recommended as the road ahead is probably the busiest in the town (it’s the only river crossing for kilometres) or wait for a bus to arrive. What a shit system, lol.
