DOT, DMV... TLA (three-letter acronym)

So in reference to the below blog about traffic lights not working for bicycles, even though they are legally vehicles in NC... my next email in the series....

"Someone at the DOT said to contact the DMV about this.... Traffic light sensors don't always pick up bikes. A lot of states have laws such that if a light doesn't change for three minutes, it can be considered a stop sign. How about NC? Lets say I pull up to a light where I don't have the option of a right on red and no other traffic comes to trip the light. Do I just wait there forever or what?"

We'll see what they say.
