 Traffic Light Triggering Device
As some of you may know some traffic lights have sensor loops in the pavement that your vehicle triggers to change the cycle of the traffic light.
The other day I came to a three way stop and was going to make a left turn. The light was red, I stopped, waited for the light to turn green. The light never turned green! I waited, and waited, and waited. Finally I got pissed and decided to run the red light. Just then a car pulled up next to me, the light turned green and that is when it hit me that the lights run off some kind of trigger.
My motorized bike is to small to trigger the trafic light. So I started looking around and found this is nothing new. Motorcyclist have been dealing with this for years.
After doing a little research, here in Tucson we dont have to many of these traffic lights. But, the city say's they will replace all old traffic lights with these triggering lights in the next few years because they are to help the flow of traffic.
So I'm sure there are lot's of places with these triggering light's. So I found this online and thought I'd share it with you.
It's a Traffic Light Triggering Device. It's only 2" long, no wire's, no batteries, ect. You just stick it on. I found this one at JC Whitney. |
