What does the law actually allow in this circumstance?
$2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details
Look Ma, no hands hehehe
I spoke to a cop once after sitting at the lights for over 4/5 changes... he was back up the road from where I was ... so I turned around and asked him. I explined how long I has sat there waiting... he understood what I meant as he rides bikes too.... he told me after 3 sets of lights go throu but do it carefully and also report the set of lights to the council.
I could still be sitting there especially if no cars ever come along...
and sometimes if its a side street you can wait ages...
I do make sure that no cops are around thou.. cos be my luck I will strike a cop having a real bad day...lol.

My information from $Friendly_cop was that if you go through a red light you're technically committing an offence. No matter what. But --- that any reasonable cop would overlook the technical offence provided you waited throgh a reasonable number of cycles (like three), and proceeded with great caution. Same applies when the lights are 'stuck" - won't change for anyone.
As before. Call the council. They've promised to fix the ones by Victoria Park.
One hell of a ride.
Just back from Oz and haven't read all the replies - Buuut - it's easy!
put your side stand down.
just put the weight of the bike on the side stand for half a second, close to the sensor and job is done - never fails. I understand it's electrostatic sensitive as well.

Just a quick note - and don't flame me, I'm just trying to help everyone understand! :-)
The reason putting your side stand down works is because you are putting some metal in the electromagnetic field of the sensor - not weight. Not trying to be a smart prick or anything here, but it's a common misconception that the triggers are weight sensitive......

More specifically still, I think because you are *moving* metal within the electromagnetic field. That causes a wee current be generated. Move any magnetic object within an induction loop and a current will be induced (hence the name) . So swinging the metal sidestand down works, so does bouncing up and down (moving the metal bike bits around)Just a quick note - and don't flame me, I'm just trying to help everyone understand! :-)

Yea it happens.
I tend to wait a while and then appy the give way rules, generally when there is no one else about. Had a Copper stop me once for doing it but he was pretty understanding of it (was another biker).
Those who insist on perfect safety, don't have the balls to live in the real world.

I didn't think that you had to obey lights on a pushbike? Every light is a green light?
