In Germany almost every traffic light has them nowadays. It can Sometimes be annoying when you’re riding a bike made of carbon. But usually my phone and laptop seem to be enough to trigger them.

Are ‘road sensors that trigger a light change’ a real thing? I thought lights are on a timed cycle.

There sometimes are induction loops under the street for this purpose: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Induction_loop

Video, radar, and infrared are also common. In some places I’ve been, only older non-upgraded intersections have induction loops.
