		<description>On the subject of detectors not working right.

The new light at 3 and Pioneer way has a problem.  I have been watching the detector loop on Pioneer way and found that it is not picking up cars consistently.  It will sometimes only let 3 cars go through the light before turning yellow even when a long string of cars are waiting.

What I have noticed is that if a long truck is one of the ones going through the light will quickly turn yellow and I think it is because the loop is not detecting the high undercarriage of the trailer.  The other time I notice this is if several cars in a row turn right, they miss going over the loop and again it thinks no other cars are in line.

Perhaps what is needed is another loop set back about 50 feet or so that will see cars still in line waiting when one of the above happens.</description>
