Its not what I meant. I know about the sensors in the road.
For the intersection I brought up, they changed the placement of the lights, but not the sensors. So before when the lights hung over the middle of the intersection, everything was good. But since they put the new lights up, they are farther away from the intersection (essentially directly over where the sensors are.)
So you either stop farther back so you can see the light when it changes (which it won’t unless someone else approaches form the other side) or you stop where the sensor is but then you can’t see the light (so you don’t know when it actually does change.)
Hope that clarifies what I wrote.
