I’m calling BS here. Every sensor-controlled stoplight I’ve ever encountered used metal detectors, not weight sensors, to detect cars in the intersection and most are sensitive enough to be triggered by my 240lb scooter. Does California use weight sensors? They don’t in MI, OH, PA, NY or ON.

I have to ride a different route in the early AM if I’m headed to work. Some signals are triggered by my bike, some aren’t.

The newer ones generally work.

They haven’t used pressure plates for decades. Apparently this guy simply is not observant.
