Holy fuck this thread is full of misinformation…

OK…

There are no weight sensors in the road.

I do not know of any over-road red light vehicle sensing arrays in WNY.

The way the red light knows you’re there is by an inductance loop in the pavement. (Works the same way as a metal detector) Your bike does not have enough inductive mass to trip the sensor.

Waving your arms is the stupidest thing i have EVER heard.

putting your kickstand down on or near a sensing strip is your best bet.
