Most of the time traffic signals work fine for motorcycles, but every once in a while there’s one that just refuses to recognize you. Why do motorcycles get stuck at red lights, and what can you do about it? We explore how traffic signals are triggered and the simple steps you can take to help get a green light.

And if you live in any of these below 12 states and get stuck at a light riding a motorcycle, you can actually run the red light legally. For real.

It has to do with their small size and the inductive loops magnetic field not picking them up. Newer tech (radar, microwave, video, etc) all have few issues with this.

Rare occurrence.

Watched the video. Good material and he’s correct.

That said, it’s not “tripping” the light. It’s called actuating a phase change.
