Im goingto try that to see if it works.

 

This has been around for years. Any bike shop carries the magnets,

 

Really?!?!? Ive never heard of doing this! Im def going to get one and see what happens!

I always thought that those markings in the road where to sense a cars weight and then trigger the light to change....

 

Lines are there to sense a change in the magnet field..A lot of times bikes dont trigger them.

When i come up to one of these lights ,i park directly on one of the lines.Its a 95% chance that the light changes for me..Cost =zero..

 

the brand most carry are called "signal wizard" and they look EXACTLY the same as the vid.. i had one on my last bike they are only 19.99 and triped the light about 75% of the time. good investment

 

Now, I know how it works. I was wondering why lights doesn't change and I was wondering if they use some kind of motion sensor. Thank you for sharing people.

 

yeah that is cool, I always thought it was a weight issue, as well as a wait issue....I crack myself up

 

I have serious doubts whether 2 sq.m. inductive loops can be triggered by 2" magnets... your spark plugs and metal parts cause way more interference electromagnetically than could a small magnet. Instead I'm +1 for stopping right over one of the lines.

Here's a simple test... WALK over to one of the signals with a magnet in hand. This will be a good test whether the magnet triggers anything (assuming you're not part android). PLEEEEASE do this test and post the result someone! Hold the magnet a couple of inches from the ground (maybe tape it to the top of your shoe and walk into and around the loop?).

 

yeah that would be a good way to test it but does it really work? i mean has anyone personally tested this?
