I travel this road fairly often so I would be willing to bet that it flips backward on one trip over the speed humps and flips back around on another trip. Nothing else I can think of would explain why it comes and goes. A pretty bad design if this is the case.
I am wondering then if the extreme travel in the arm broke the sensor when you hit those speed humps. (A term which should never be used for a pavement accessory). Interested in finding out what exactly is causing these issues so that the rest of us now what to stay away from.
