Description
This intersection's traffic detection mechanism does not recognize bicycles. I and other cyclists often travel westward on Northridge and turn left on Roberts. Cyclists never get a green light here. This is a large, busy intersection, and cyclists have to run the light. Please have someone make an improvement here. Thanks!

How would a signal "recognize" a bicycle? There's no way - it would be subject to false positives all the time or wouldn't work at all (car ones rarely - if ever - throw a false-positive).
Makes the most sense to have a "walk" button accessible to bicyclists.

I don't install or fix signals dude. Tell the government to "Google it" and see how far - or arrested - it gets you.
On topic, the intersection is a s--t show and nothing "automatic" or "detection" related has worked. Google that, bro. Then Google GDOT.
