I've heard rumors about how these detectors work, but it's nice how that website has the different kinds laid out. And that magnet idea seems neat, I'll have to find a light that constantly doesn't change for me and try it out.

Just yesterday I was at the light on my neighborhood street and waited 10 minutes before another car came up behind me to trip the sensor so I could turn left. I do not want to break the law but the only other thing would be to get off the bike and go to the pole and press the pedestrian button and then run back to the bike and wait for it to turn so I can go. this has happened many times before. You would think that the city planners would think about this for future planning.......but nnnnnnnoooooooooo!sigpic

It's not the planners but, the maintenance dept not checking the accuracy of the sensors."I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you when I called you stupid. I thought you already knew..."

Bikes Can Run Red Lights Under New Virginia Law
If you ride a motorcycle or bicycle, you probably know the frustration of getting stuck at a red light that just won't change – because the sensors under the street can't detect your two-wheeler. A new state law would allow two-wheel vehicles to run throu
House Bill 1981 will let motorcyclists, moped riders and bicyclists pass through red lights, as long as there is no oncoming traffic, after waiting 120 seconds or two cycles of the light. The law will take effect July 1.

There's a traffic light I get stuck at often. It's near the city limits and not too busy. It doesn't have the lines in the road for the sensors, but does have these two circles, or disks in the road that are about 4-5 inches in diameter. They are in line and about 8-10 feet apart. I eventual found that if I stop so my engine is directly over it the light will change pretty quickly every time. When I wasn't parking over it the light wouldn't trigger until a vehicle pulled up behind me.
I also added a strong magnet to my lower frame, but I can't remember if I did that before, or after I discovered parking over the disks.
