Scattered  throughout  the  Atlantic  county (and quite  possibly  all of America)  there are intersections that lack the proper  infrastructure  to correctly  register a cyclist.  To my knowledge  there are THREE different  types  of  road sensors  that can detect  a vehicle  at an intersection:  radar (which requires  a large  enough  vehicle  volume), magnetic  embedded  in the tarmac   (which  can detect  provided  your  bicycle  contains  enough  steel), and finally  weight   (again  cyclists  are too light  to trigger  this sensor).

As a result  we cyclists  must  use our  best judgment  to negotiate the lack of infrastructure and proceed in the best safest possible way.  Even the last words of advice  the NJ Driver's  manual tells  its new drivers  is that no manual  can cover all road conditions  and that safe and sane sober judgment  will at some  point  be required  to clear  a road condition that's  not covered  in the driver's  manual.
