Concerning lights with malfunctioning magnetic sensors:  Right On!!

There's this one particular light, at the main entrance to the College
Park campus of the U of MD, that seems to work exactly backwards.  I
often leave here at 2 or 3 in the morning.  I get to the light; it's
red.  There's no one nearby on the main street, Route 1.  (However,
there're headlights far down the road so I don't dare make a
left-on-red.)  So I sit at this red light for a while.  Eventually,
someone comes down Route 1.  Just as they approach the light, it turns
red for Rt. 1 traffic and green for me!  If it let me through 60
seconds ago no one would have had to even slow down!
