micromobility is seen as a potential solution to moving people more efficiently around cities"

It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:
Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.
Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.
Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

If it's not working, then yes, everyone is expected to treat it like a stop sign. But I'm talking about lights where they will make you wait BY DESIGN, because they only respond to cars and trucks.
Our region has started to put up sensors specifically for cyclists, and they reduce the wait time by a lot. They aren't meant to change the lights 100x a minute, but are meant to make intersections a bit more balanced.
But these are at 0.01% of the intersections in the region, so it means very little to me. It's an expensive project for something that the very free Idaho Stop can solve.
LOL. Fair play. I see more stop sign and red light runners in motor vehicles than I do cyclists behaving badly.
I once saw a car make a right turn at a red without even slowing down, nearly hitting a crossing pedestrian (an old man). The driver THEN slowed down, but only to yell at the pedestrian... There's something about being in a metal cage just turns people into lunatics.
