Traffic signal inductance loops (or, red lights that won't turn green for you)

[codger78]

Talked with a local city traffic coordinator (who manages all such devices) about it today.....Says that they are not set to trigger for anything under 60cc types etc.......I further asked about something, like magnets etc, that might overcome the problem, but without any luck, and is unaware of any devices on the market for it.
Seems to me that there had been some advice given either on this forum or elsewhere but can't remember where...If any of you gentlemen can point me in the right direction I'd appreciate it.........Thanks

Some here in Nashville, I can trigger on my People 250 (especially if I pull up along the cut line in the pavement); others will never change.

Fortunately, Tennessee law allows a two wheeler to treat a red light as a stop sign, after reasonable caution is exercised.

In my town, sometimes they are triggered, sometimes not.
There is a loop that activates the ramp at the exit of the company where I work from inside. P250S activates it without problems.
However, there is one other loop in the center of the city that is not triggered, so I am forced to go through the red light, especially during weekends because the light would never change to green.

In Australia, if you go through a red light, you get a fine, and, yes, they have red light cameras. If you got money, they want it.

The same anywhere in Europe.

  No one using magnets,they do work. Got one tied to the 50 kickstand,sometimes got to push the stand down to help trigger over the sensors.
