Description

Broadway light does not recognize bicycles: when I wait at the light on my bike to turn left from Broadway onto Plymouth Rd (west, towards Downtown), the light does not change. Please re-time this light or add sensors for bicycles.

Correct vehicle sensors do not see bicycles.
Just run the light like all the other bicycles.

Go push the pedestrian walk button.

He’s in the LEFT TURN LANE, trying to turn left. What a genius.

He’s also trying to be a law-abiding vehicle operator, which is what generye usually demands of cyclists—except when treating a bicycle like any other vehicle is inconvenient, that is!

All vehicles are equal but some vehicles are more equal than others? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Let it go Rob...this isn't Facebook.

Generye treats it like Facebook, and as long as his behavior is tolerated, I’ll return in kind, thanks.

It’s a public forum Rob. Deal with it.

Rob: do you want the city to spend millions so that bicycles can be recognized or are there much simpler solutions? Crossing the street, then push the pedestrian crossing buttons and utilizing the sidewalk for a short distance is an effective and cheap solution.

I’ll take the city expanding its bike infrastructure over simplistic non-solutions any day. Thanks for asking.

Hi all, I wasn't going to weigh in here but I felt obligated to mention that I commute on a cargo e-bike that weighs 75 pounds and is 3-4 feet wide. With me on it, it's 250+ lb moving at 15-20mph so I promise you don't want me on your sidewalk while you're walking your dog or going for a run :)

Good to know, Nishant. I think the city has promised to add sensors for bikes at various lights, but needless to say it is a work in progress. Thanks for pointing out this particular location. Southbound State at Stimson needs a bike sensor as well. Maybe I’ll follow your lead.

Gene doesn't even understand what the problem is that needs solving.

Oh Marcus, give me some credit. Turn signals don’t recognize bicycles as they are metal sensing and the bike doesn’t contain enough metal to trigger the sensor. Digging up all the turn lanes to install better sensors is a waste of funds to resolve a problem the is insignificant compared to other issues.

We do not have a detection system at this intersection for bicycles at this time.

@City of Ann Arbor: what is the recommended action for bicyclists at this intersection turning left, then? Is it to use the sidewalk?

Good question! If the city doesn’t solve the problem, then they’re implicitly encouraging you to become a reluctant scofflaw.

Sidewalk use is ok and within the law.

I usually go with a Copenhagen left. It can take longer, but I don't like sitting in left turn lanes.

2024-03-05 · Marquer Flagged
Rob Utterback (Utilisateur inscrit)

But if the same sensor that doesn’t recognize bikes turning left also doesn’t recognize bikes going straight, isn’t one left with the same dilemma?

2024-03-05 · Marquer Flagged
Seth (Utilisateur inscrit)

Well, yes, I'm either waiting for a car to trigger the light or running the red. It's a lousy system. I prefer regular timed lights which are less "efficient", but more equitable without spending more money on traffic controls (which are already bleeding us dry so we can "save time").

Just be like most other bike riders and ignore the laws. I see bike riders blowing through stop signs and red lights swerving through parking lots just to maintain momentum. God forbid motor vehicle drivers do this.

Generye just told cyclists to ignore the laws. I’ll note that for future reference.

Just pointing out the obvious I have witnessed around the city. Don’t be a shmuck
