traffic lights at roadworks.

On my way to work a bridge is being repaired. Today I was in the stream of traffic heading towards town, no cars going the other way. Mid stream the l ights went red, just as I reached them. I went through. I reckon I travelle d 100m between the lights and then about 600m up the hill before the lights changed. I realise there has to be a margin to be sure a car gets through, but how b ig should the margin be? Why when the lights have sensors do they never seem to be switched on? It j ust looks like a crude timer is used. Under what circumstances are the sensors on the lights used?

Unless it is snowing when it seems all such rules are suspended.
