Certain lights won’t trigger for a bike. The sensors are not sensitive enough or not set correctly. If there are no cars to trigger the light, the only options are to get off the bike and press the pedestrian walk button or just run it. At my normal commute time of 5:30AM, typically it’s dark with no one around - I’ll just run it when it’s safe to do so (no cross traffic in sight).

I’m referring to the guys who run lights and stop signs in rush hour. They have some sort of death wish.

Nobody would complain if a bicyclist runs a red when nobody is around, most everyone I know understands street sensors. I used to have trouble with them on a motorcycle.

From the observations above, there is a general non-respect of the traffic rules cars must obey. In most states, bicycles and cars need to follow the same rules. As a driver of a cage, I can say it’s pretty hard seeing someone where I don’t expect them to be, like riding the wrong way on a sidewalk.
