RFS 8264 assigned. If received outside of normal business hours, we will investigate this issue on the next business day.

The "skewered cyclist" symbol [AKA Bicycle Signal Actuation (R10-22) sign and the associated pavement marking] should also be painted over the most sensitive spot(s) for the inductive loop to guide people riding bikes to the best place to put their bikes in order to trigger this device. Thanks!

For cyclists attempting to trigger these detectors positioning can be important. If the location of the loop is obvious (i.e. you can still see the cuts made to lay the loop) this article can help you determine where best to locate your bike:

Unfortunately if the loops where laid when the road was paved or it has since been re-paved having the proper signage and road markings is really the only way to be sure of positioning :-/

Thanks for the info Phuzzie. I also understand that the sensitivity of the trigger can be adjusted. Perhaps a combination of both an adjustment and road markings could work well. I ride through this intersection every day and I have never gotten a light unless a car is also with me.

Issue Acknowledged- Sending to Traffic Dept

On the west bound approach we painted a white stripe parallel with and 4 feet away from the curb. Place your bicycle on this stripe and the loop detector is sensitive enough to change the signal. - this issue is closed.

Noticed today that an actual bike icon was added here, which is even better. Thanks!

Thanks DPW!

issue closed.
