Sensor broken - Cycling traffic light not turning green
Sent to TfL less than a minute later. TfL ref: FMS5603153.
Especially in the evenings, the traffic light for cyclists to turn left onto Victoria Embankment does not turn green, and the other traffic lights rotate multiple times before cyclists are forced to guess when is safe for them to jump across.
This has happened to me many times when I've finished work late over the last year, so I suspect either it's an issue with the sensor that detects if there are any bikes in the lane (there always are!), especially in the dark, or the priority system, which (because there are always bikes heading in that direction) doesn't make sense.
