Three Ways Knights of the Road Beat the Traffic Light Sensors

If you own a motorcycle, scooter, ride a bicycle or even drive a mini hybrid car you have probably been frustrated by lengthy waits at traffic lights

. Not only is this annoying it is also unnecessarily adding to your journey time, costing you extra fuel and can present an additional risk to the most vulnerable road users.

The probable cause for your frustration is the traffic lights controller sensor failing to pick up your smaller vehicle. These 'demand actuated' traffic light sensors are a perfectly sensible way to avoid unnecessary disruption to traffic flow. However that is pretty useless to know if your stuck at the intersection, on your bike waiting for the next truck to pull up to trigger the sensor. The real problem is that most of these are placed at busy intersections to ensure vehicles can turn left or cross the predominant traffic flow. So if your on a bike that is a very important safety issue.

So what can you do about it? Firstly you need to understand how most of the 'demand actuated' traffic light sensors work. The vast majority use something called a 'loop detector' or, to give them their full name 'inductive loop traffic sensors'. This is basically a metal detector buried in the road. Ever noticed the circular, square, rectangular, or diamond-shaped saw cuts in the road surface approaching the intersection? Well that is your 'loop detector.'

Essentially these consist of a electromagnetic coils that detect the presence of ferrous metal. Unfortunately most motorcycles do not have enough permeable metal in their frames to reliably disrupt the magnetic flux and consequently trigger the traffic light controllers. There are a number of different types of the 'loop detector' but, whether they are dipole, quadrupole or diagonal quadrupole in design they all work on the same fundamental principle. Despite many urban myths, waving your arms about, flashing your lights or repeatedly kicking your kick stand in and out will make no difference whatsoever.

However there are a number of solutions. Firstly if you regularly get stuck at the same place and you have the time available you could take some time to identify the exact location of the traffic light sensor. Look for the tell tale 'saw cut' markings in the road near the intersection. Using a process of trial and error, providing of course that it is safe to do so, you could position and then reposition your bike to find the best place to trigger the sensor. However this does have the obvious drawback of being rather time consuming and is reliant upon you finding the exact same spot every time you pull up at the intersection. It also has to be said that your bike may simply not have sufficient ferrous metal mass to trigger the light sensor no matter where you place it.

Another option is to construct your own electromagnetic triggering system and attach it to your bike. In order to do so you need to get hold of some neodymium magnets and fix them to the underside of your bike. However extreme caution should be taken if you decide to take this approach. The magnets are extremely strong, very brittle and can shatter easily. It is always advisable to wear eye protection when handling them and never let children or animals come into contact with them (they can be fatal if ingested).They will wipe electromagnetic data from pretty much any media and can even disrupt pacemakers so caution is very important. You can not simply stick them to the underside of you motorcycle as they will be eroded by the elements. A good idea is to place each inside a metal case such as a small pill dispenser, fixed within an epoxy resin (again take all recommended precautions when working with such resins and always follow the manufacturers guidelines). You can then attach the encased neodymium magnets to the underside of your bike using a heat hardened resin or similar fixing agent.

However, if neither of those solutions sound particularly appealing, you may be relieved to know that you can buy a relatively cheap solution called the Light Knight. This light sensor trigger incorporates a uniquely designed high flux magnet that acts like a small signal generator when it passes over the loop detector. This then induces a voltage spike triggering the 'loop detector' and allowing you to get that all important green light.

So whatever solution you choose there is no longer any need for you stay stuck to the whims of the traffic light sensor.
