Traffic Lights Skipping Jeeps?

I always thought the lights that had pads were weight triggered, but that explains why a 5,000 lb Jeep might get skipped if it's not triggered by weight.
I've had a light skip me once when I was driving my old car (poor little car...I still miss it!)...just a regular, run-of-the-mill car that should've triggered whatever sensor was there.

Thanks for all the explanations! Will have to try the creeping thing next time. I did roll back and forth a couple times without any success. Good thing the pedestrian pushed the walk button or I would have had to run the red light
