Stuck at a red light? Here’s how to make the signal detect your vehicle

Many red lights fail to detect smaller vehicles like bikes and scooters due to sensor limitations. Inductive loops, common in traffic signals, rely on sufficient metal mass to register a vehicle. Improper positioning or low metal presence often causes these signals to remain red, leading to frustrating delays and inefficient traffic flow.
