It's all here!
How to Trigger a Vehicle Detector
Wire cuts in the road surface show where detector loops are, unless the street was repaved after they were installed. Or there may be a video camera overhead on a signal mast arm pointing toward you.

If a school bus is stopped ahead of you, or coming toward you, you must stop when the lights are flashing red and the stop sign is out.
