I don't get why having a bunch of people who weren't there speculate as to how they would have handled it better helps, but if you find benefit from it, who am I to question that? Your process is your process.
I would point out that the "20/20 hindsight at best" quote you excerpted was my valuation of my own opinion on how to handle it and wasn't a shot at yours or anyone else's opinion.
BTW, I think the feature of a situation like that that I find super frustrating is the weight-triggered traffic light. It just adds another complicating factor into lane placement as you need to leave a car enough room to roll over the trigger. I've also been in too many situations where the presence of such a light leaves me with rolling a red as being the only viable solution.
