Is there a law in Arkansas where you can run a red light on a motorcycle after waiting so long?

I do not know if they is a law, but in Florida in my car, when I have waited what I thing is too long of a time, and there is no cross traffic I will go on my way. If you travel the same way, all the time, you can tell when a traffic light is hung up.A lot of times when you break the magnetic field wire in the pavement the traffic light will start to work aging.

Yeah, if you're turning right.





I know why you're asking (traffic sensors not picking up motorcycles), but I'm pretty sure no states have done anything about it.

Most staes have such a law, meant to save motorcyclists that fail to trip a light, due to insufficent iron near the ground. (Your engine is probably aluminum, your body work plastic.) Some ideas how to trip the light. Get next to the wire loop, and swing your kickstand down to the ground and more slowly over the trip wire. Or you can buy a green light magnet, which is a ridiculously powerful magnet that sticks (double-sided tape) to the frame or bottom of the body work so it will trip the wire. Cost around $25, which will save you the hassle of talking your way out of a ticket. It works by the principle of a generator, a voltage is induced by moving a magnetic field near a circuit laid out in the pavement by the wire. Which triggers the left turn signal! Mostly what fails to trip in my case.
Reply:It is not legal any where get a green light magnet they work and are cheap. On ebay about 25$
Reply:Well most underground sensors don't acknowlege a motorcycle so if you honestly waited for a considerable amount of time any cop would understand and not write you up. It's a chance you take though. I'm almost sure there's no law in any state granting anybody permission to run a red light. there should be but it opens a liability issue between local governments and insurance agencies.
