I have found in the MD/VA/DC area that the inductive sensors in the road frequently do not register the presence of motorcycles. Sometimes I have gone through red lights, after having waited through what normally would have been 2 or 3 cycles of the lights. It is most frustrating when a car is behind you and honks the horn, as though you are purposely trying to hold them up......
This seems to be more of a problem with older sensors, or perhaps calibration. Some areas its bad, but I moved to Columbia MD, and never have a problem in this area. -----Original Message----- From: Mark Bohlman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, June 13, 2002 6:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Run the RED? Semi FLUFF Thought the list might be interested in the Great State of Minnesota's latest. The following is an excerpt from the May 26 2002 Star and Tribune, page A14. Quote " If you are astride a Harley at an interminable red light: ease on through. Motorcycles sometimes don't cause the lights to change so legislatures decided that after a safe stop, you can run the red" Any other states considering this or have this law on the books? I have not tested the law as of yet and I don't think I will roll the dice anytime soon. Run a red light.....? Mark BohlmanGet more from the Web.
