Have had the same problem from the lot and coming down the hill from Philip street opposite as well. Sometimes you need to move your car a bit so the sensor "sees" you--but many of those sensors don't seem well angled.

Sensors? I thought traffic lights had an uninterrupted cycle, except for WALK signals. This happened to me on Harrison and Fountain one day - sat through the cycle 4 times. What happens when the violation cameras are installed? How are we going to prove that we didn't pass the light without good cause? The city is going to be inundated with unhappy drivers, and the courts are going to be flooded with ticket contesting cases.

Thanks for the post. The Signal Division will be notifed.

Many intersections in Westville have a new type of sensor system to help figure out when a red light should turn green--look up and you will see a white tube mounted up high and aimed toward where the first car would wait at a red light. This is NOT a red light violation camera. Instead, it replaces the pressure-sensitive plates that used to be in the road at where the first car would wait at a red light (you can see those, too: look like metal wires embedded in the asphalt).
