That was some good info Rob, I've noticed , at least, in the Phoenix metro area, that the trend is toward low resolution cameras on the overhead traffic lights. Those are next to imposible trigger in bright daylight by a motorcycle. At night, flashing the high beam and the driving lights seems to do the trick on the majority of them. I wonder if bolting steel sheet metal to the bottom of the bike would help trigger the magnetic type sensors? Kind of like the rock guards that off road bikes use.
