Metro Public Works has been out recently painting bike sym
bols at key traffic lights along bike routes to help cyclists know where to place their bike to initiate the light to change. Whether the symbol is there or not, you can often get the light to change when no other vehicles are present in your lane by placing your bike over the new quadrangle saw cuts in the roadway or by placing your bike over the saw cut on the standard induction loops.
Having an issue getting the light to change? Let us know.
