I sometimes roll ahead once the light changes. If I am feeling tactical I try to leave enough room that I can turn around if a train or something holds up traffic and I have to get out of there.

I always think of creepers as impatient pricks. Especially the ones that are at the stop bar waiting for the light to change and end up half way out in the intersection before it does. Then the SOB that seems to be in such a hurry won't go over the speed limit.

I stay stopped, and I leave a sizable gap. I will creep if the vehicles in front of me eventually move a substantial distance.

I stop. I hate creepers, as I see them come up to the light that they just saw turn red, and then instantly begin to creep, like the sensors detect them and the light programs rush the other lights to change faster because by god, this person obviously has somewhere to go and NOW!! I've seen the creep their vehicle past the stop line and almost out in to the intersection.

Stopper. Creepers are usually stoppers too, but they don't stop until the light turns green. That's when they stop, and look around before going. Stupid and annoying.

Stopper. I'll get to where I shouldn't go any further forward and stop. The new truck has start/stop, which doesn't work well if you're constantly creeping.
It's odd, people who creep. You're not going to get anywhere any faster. I once counted 13 creeps from one guy at a light once. Just ever couple seconds, he'd creep forward a few inches. What's odd is when a creeper goes slow AF once the light goes green. It's like, dude, you wanted to GO so badly, but then when you can, you don't want to GO? |

Stopper (stick shift). Being a creeper would put unnecessary wear on my clutch.
Also if I'm at a light I know the timing of I stop about 10-15 feet short of the line so I get a rolling start as they turn green. Then you beat everyone off the line cause you're already rolling into the intersection as it turns green instead of just pressing the gas. And most of the time I try to keep an eye 100+ yards down the road at cross-lights to time up my stop lights so they're green by the time I get to them. It's far more efficient and less shifting to coast several hundred feet up to a light and then not have to stop at all rather than to keep driving full speed right up to it before hitting the brakes (only to get a green light like 10 seconds later). |

Sometimes I mess with the person in front of me.
Sometimes I mess with the person behind me. It's kind of a social experiment. I'm stopped anyway, I get bored and curious about peoples' reactions to stimulus. |

Stop unless I have to catch up to a bunch of creepers.
Now, if no one is in front of me... Full stop, first gear, clutch in, bring revs up to about 3k and wait for the tree.

I always wonder why the hell people speed up towards red lights, just so they can brake hard to stop.
In fact I almost posted a thread about it the other day. Are we related, OP?

Quoted: I always wonder the status mental state of people at a stoplight. When you are at a stop light and behind another vehicle do you remain completely stopped during the duration of the traffic light change? Or are you a 'creeper' in which every 2 to 3 seconds you gradually move/creep an inch forward in attempt to move forward knowing damn well there's another vehicle in front of you and you're not going anywhere. I guess for those creepers, mentally by moving an inch every few seconds it kind of resets their brain and erases the thought of them being stopped at a red light. Creeper, it always seems to help trip the sensor at “smart lights”. |

A “creeper” to me is the car in front of me as we approach traffic stopped ahead of us, and he/she/it makes an initial stop 40-50 meters before the last stopped vehicle, then creeps 5 meters and stops, then creeps 5 meters and stops, etc. etc.
The creeper’s inbred relative is the “slow roller”, who sees a line of cars stopped at a light ahead and slows to 5 mph to avoid having to make a full stop at all. Hey, fuck all those people behind me, right. I’m leading this motorcade. |

Depends.
My car is a stick and there's a light I hit on my commute with a long steep uphill approach. It often gets backed up and everyone creeps forward. I've taken note from the big rigs and attempt starting with a big enough gap that I never stop. I just idle up the hill in first. With everyone constantly creeping forward and bunching up, it usually works. |

By far the most common technique is the inductive loop. An inductive loop is simply a coil of wire embedded in the road's surface. To install the loop, they lay the asphalt and then come back and cut a groove in the asphalt with a saw. The wire is placed in the groove and sealed with a rubbery compound. You can often see these big rectangular loops cut in the pavement because the compound is obvious.” Never said it was JUST weight  |
