In streets with high traffic, the left turning red light only goes to green, if someone is actually there waiting. Because else it would make a longer red phase for the opposite drivers going straight
Well, die pedestrians there is usually a button at the crossover, so they get priority and a green light soon
Bicycles at such crossings usually have a bike lane, because it’s (usually) only at high traffic crossings - and else they can use the pedestrian button
Not sure about motorcycles though.
Haven’t seen issues personally, but I can imagine, that the sensors aren’t trimmed to motorcycles sometimes.
But have to say, that in every occasion I’ve had a motorcycle in front of me on such a sensor, it worked.
Statistically probably not relevant though…
I’m not really sure, if I understood you

So, it seems like an improvement to me
What am I missing?
Every traffic situation where people would need to cross but there won’t be a car stopper exactly over the sensor.
Not exhaustively:
pedestrians
motorcycles
bicycles
cars stopped at the wrong place
Ah, I see, thanks
