For the longest time, I never had a problem. Lately though, I've been stuck a lot more often. Like they've desensitized the detectors. One intersection in particular has a shitload of traffic one direction, and none at times in the other. If I get caught the wrong way at the wrong time, I've waited 10 minutes before I just found a gap in traffic and made the left. Same thing at a construction site last weekend- one lane, pitch black, around a corner. WTF do ya do there? After three minutes I put my sidestand down on the sensor. NOTHING. After 10 minutes, a cage pulled up behind me and it triggered right away. I was about ready to run it and just prepare to slip into the cones if something came the other way.
