Have you ever stuck at traffic lights?

[jss]

Motorcyclists often get stuck at red lights that never end, because the sensors that cause the light to change to green aren't sensitive enough to know that small vehicles are present.

[Sgbiker23]

Sometime do happen.

[ReBornBikeR]

So far I never experience such situation before, maybe I always stop inside the sensor "Box" :sweat:

[Ah James]

Yes... The Junction in front of Boon Siew Motor/KK Hospital and Sengkang area... (At Nite)

 

Then have to side stand the bike and go press the predestrian button in order to turn green...

[GhostBiker]

if at nite, i bo chup, if find tat traffic light sumting wrong, jus proceed...

but make sure no vehicles la. most impt is no 'police' vehicles

 

[danz]

most of the time, in the middle of the nite.... tampines T junction ( facing the sport hall and near the interchange)

[seven7sin]

last time when nicoll highway still in operation...the way leadin to ecp..

I was alone at that time..purposely stop in the box. then another 2b bike come along..also never change..waited for very long..another bike come along..still dun change..sigh

[furbykong]

there's one entrance to AYE ( IKEA to SAJC direction ) just after the AIA building.

 

nearly finish one whole cigarette b4 a car trigger off the light.. yet to be convinced tat a bike can trigger tat particular light

[WildCard]

NTU exit to Jalan Bahar and IMH exit to Buangkok Green.

I hate it if I have to do night shift and need to go out and get supper.

I can park my bike and stand on the damn sensor and it won;t change until a car appears on my side (rare at 1am in the morning) or appears at the other side of the road.

[sonic_seed]

junction of compassvale turning right into the bridge to TPE,

dunno how they design one, always cater to car this n tat, never tot of bike, sesh!!!

sometimes must go n press pedestrain traffic light button then will turn green for us (learnt it from SSDC instructors during rd lesson haha)

now 12 points and $200 lei, for "beating red light":giddy:

[eFzek17]

omg

[burningacid]

junction to turn to loyang temple, off the loyang industrial road der.. 10mins waiting still red.. fed up, beat the red light as well...

[jss]

wow tats so many... lol

anyway im importing a device in to singapore just to trigger the traffic for bikes. feedbacks!!

If it's not too ex and is light enough, plus most importantly doesn't drain the batt, I'm in for it!

[AH--SENG]

some traffic light r so fark up sia......wont turn at all....stupid sia....even gt cars oso beri long.....the timer they put is sucks sia.......n the senors doesnt wrk at all....

NTU exit to jalan bahar has been re-programmed to timed change of lights. No matter whether there is car/bike coming out or not, it will definitely change at timed intervals... maybe ard 3-5 mins...

 

Never had a problem with that junction even in the wee hours of the morning.. I even tried parking way before the sensor box just to see if it changes, lo and behold, it did after a few mins...

hrm

wat device is dat?

some device to short circuit traffic light circuits?

Traffic signal sensors are essentially metal detectors buried in the road surface. These "inductive loop" sensors are easy to spot because they have a circular, square, or diamond-shaped saw cut in the pavement just before the intersection. There is a weak radio frequency field over the coil, and a large inductive mass disturbs that field. Loop detectors are meant to pick up the presence of large masses of metal - like cars and trucks - sitting still over the detector loop.

 

Most modern bikes don't have enough inductive material in their frames to trip the sensor, and what they have tends to be oriented vertically above the loop (making it harder to sense) so we get stuck.

 

The device emits a wide and powerful magnetic field that when passed over a detector loop, disturbs the loop's field, simulating the arrival of a much larger vehicle. When the control computer sees that signal, it knows someone's there, and the biker gets a green light, just like everyone else.

Sometime I will let my rear wheel depress on the sensor line, if behide got vechicle, I will ride further front so the car can come in & step it.

If not after waiting for 2- 3 min, I will ride on on RED.

Almost all small lane like turning into Estated or Carpark area always like that.

Guess next time bring along a 1ton weight while riding at night.

icic

wah

more and more devices on modern day bikes liao

even need device to clear traffic lights

sometimes when i feel helpless, i just stomp hard on the box...

now then i noe this is useless...
