So, he waited the six cycles and then finally turned. The cop pulled him over and asked for his license.
Then the cop returned his license, stuck out his hand, and said "I just wanted to shake the hand of rider who would wait through six light cycles before making that turn."
So there are definitely the ones who get it.=USAF= Retired

I hate that, and it's so unsafe to go through the red light even if the coast is clear. Not to mention the possibility of a ticket. I remember touching on it in the MSF course but I never remembered once I left and took the final test in there. Thanks.

I have one of these stoplights about 2 blocks from my house. So, where do you mount the magnets for the most effective result?

Thanks for the update.
Noticed someone mentioned Senate Bill 1359 for NC... it passed...
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF NORTH CAROLINA
SESSION 2007
SESSION LAW 2007-260
SENATE BILL 1359
AN ACT TO ALLOW THE OPERATOR OF A MOTORCYCLE TO PROCEED
THROUGH AN INTERSECTION CONTROLLED BY A TRAFFIC SIGNAL
ONLY IF THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL USES AN INDUCTIVE LOOP VEHICLE
SENSOR THAT ACTIVATES THE TRAFFIC SIGNAL AND THE INDUCTIVE
LOOP FAILS TO DETECT THE MOTORCYCLE AND ACTIVATE THE
TRAFFIC SIGNAL.
The General Assembly of North Carolina enacts:
SECTION 1. G.S. 20-158 is amended by adding a new subsection to read:
"§ 20-158. Vehicle control signs and signals.
…
(e) Defense. – It shall be a defense to a violation of sub-subdivision (b)(2)a. of
this section if the operator of a motorcycle, as defined in G.S. 20-4.01(27)d., shows all
of the following:
(1) The operator brought the motorcycle to a complete stop at the
intersection or stop bar where a steady red light was being emitted in
the direction of the operator.
(2) The intersection is controlled by a vehicle actuated traffic signal using
an inductive loop to activate the traffic signal.
(3) No other vehicle that was entitled to have the right-of-way under
applicable law was sitting at, traveling through, or approaching the
intersection.
(4) No pedestrians were attempting to cross at or near the intersection.
(5) The motorcycle operator who received the citation waited a minimum
of three minutes at the intersection or stop bar where the steady red
light was being emitted in the direction of the operator before entering
the intersection."
Page 2 Session Law 2007-260 SL2007-0260
SECTION 2. This act becomes effective December 1, 2007, and applies to
offenses committed on or after that date.
In the General Assembly read three times and ratified this the 12th day of
July, 2007.
