Does anyone know how to trigger lights(on the street)?
--The sensors are used to picking up cars and sometimes don't sense that i am waiting for my light to change. Any suggestions?

 

Neodymium magnet on the side of your boot. Don't know where to buy em but hear they are the go.

 

Boot magnet would work. Had not thought of that. I did see a "Light changing magnet" on ebay when I was searching KLX parts. If it works then any magnet should help as low as possible. I have also seen posted to blip you starter and the mag field from that may trigger.
Or make 3 rights :-)

 

Well having only one stoplight in my town to experiment on, I have found this. If the light won't change, I either wait till a car comes up behind me, which could be 3 rotations of me being stuck there, which is totally unacceptable. Or I just put the kickstand down and back up and that usually triggers it. Last option and I've done this a few times, is if you are stuck there, you can legally (at least that's what I heard) turn on a red light if traffic is clear. The very last option is to just turn right and circle the block or take a different route. Since I only have the "one stoplight" I will just learn to deal with it. I do get some funny looks from people as I roll through the red light.... they should adjust the light sensors so that if a pedal bike is there it will go off.

 

Oh I forgot to add, I can see the blacktop cut out of where the sensors are and so as I come to that one place everyday after checking the mail, I try and make sure I'm right over that spot. A car that is 6 ft wide, doesn't have to worry about where they are in relationship to the sensor. But we do since our footprint is less than 2 ft.

 

so where in relationship to the cut out do you go? Over the line, in the middle of the square?

 

In the middle of the 2 ft rectangle.

 

Same, I put it right in the middle of the square, only had a few that wouldnt catch me, but I do have some heavy iron to set it off with.

 

Try the kickstand method and report back.

 

Yeah i have done the waiting part for 2 cycles and finally just ran the red light making a left when it was clear(AT NIGHT). Im going to try the kickstand, never thought about it.

Thanks
