Sometimes you just have to jump a red light on a bike. The sensor doesn't detect you, so it'll stay red forever until a car comes up behind you. I've even had this happen on dedicated bicycle traffic lights ...

>note: I'm seeing egregious traffic violations by cars every time I drive now which was not true say 10yrs ago. Don't know what changed

More cars on the road?

Perhaps the sensor is back a bit behind you? I know several places where the sensors are 30-60 metres away: it allows cars to pass thru in chunky groups.
