Red light left turns to be OK in Missouri

[Wrongway]

Well, you have to come to a stop and wait a cycle or two but it's good to know that common practice has become legal.

Did you read some of the comments attached to the article? No wonder they are trying to kill us, they just plain don't like us.

actually it (usually) isn't the 'weigh' which triggers the sensor...it is an inductive loop which is interrupted by an object which changes the inductance in the field, which in turn triggers a signal change.

I was gonna say that

 

 

BTW, if you stop with your oil pan over top of a corner of the loop, if you can see the cut, chances are you'll trip the loop. I always pull up on one of the cuts on the side, then stop at the front corner. Works most of the time........

I've tried zig zag pattern when coming to light in hopes to disrupt the field but in most cases not much luck. i'm going to try the magnets deal....Northern Tool has three of them (dime sized) for $4.00. Thanks for your input.

These magnets are also helpful if you are looking to collect spare metal parts in your rear tire while driving down the road.

When you stop (over the sensors at the light), kill the motor and then restart .The starter will activated the sensors when the starter motor gives off it's magnetic vibes .
