I stop, unclip and stand. After looking to verify that there is no traffic, then I cross on the red. Otherwise I could sometimes be standing there for what seems like hours! I find it interesting that one of these "change only if cars are present" lights is right in front of the State Police barracks. At first I figured someone would come out and give me a traffic ticket, but it hasn't happened.

I think I remember hearing that the technology does exist to sense cyclists as well as cars (must be something other than a sensor in the pavement that's sensitve to weight, right?) but I've never seen a light change based on the presence of a cyclist. Bummer.
