sensitive

Ron, I'm afraid you're on your own their. I've got
one intersection on my
commute that has been repaved and I can only guess
at where the loop is. If
it doesn't change, I wait for clear traffic and go.
If I get ticketed (yes,
cops get tickets too)I'll explain the situation and
hope for the best,
however I probably won't go with one of my buddies
watching.

Hi Doug,
Any suggestions for those intersections where one
can not see the loops?
One that comes to mind is S.W. Vermont and Oleson,
another is S.W. 185th
and Rock Creek Blvd. (all corners).

Vicki,
Try stopping with your wheels directly over and in
line with the induction
loop in the road. You can see where they are by
the thin cuts in the
pavement. This causes the greatest amount of
induction loss in the loop
and
will give you a better chance of triggering the
light. For a fuller
explanation and a graphic of how these gizmos
work, surf to this link:

I have a question about bikes and dealing with
traffic lights that
can't be triggered by bicycles - particularly at
left turn light
signals. What are we supposed to do? Sit there
through x?? light cycles
till a car shows up to trigger it or make the turn
safely when no
traffic is coming from the front, even though that
requires "running"
the light?
Always wondered about this one ........ thoughts?
Official policies??
Thanks
Vicki
