As a motorcyclist and bicyclist, I've found that the best bet is to do either
or both of:

* treat the sensor as broken (which it is if it doesn't sense you), and do
the legal thing: stop and wait till it's clear. In other words, treat the
light as a flashing red light or a stop sign. This is what the law says to do.

* then, tell the road department that they have a broken sensor. Modern
sensors can easily be adjusted to sense a motorcycle or even most bicycles.
