I'm asking because in the US we have many signals that are controlled using induction loop sensors that detect the presence of vehicles based on changes in the electrical signal caused by the presence of a mass of metal. Sadly in many cases the sensors are set to ignore smaller signals such as would be caused by bicycles or motorcycles. Consequently, some states have enacted laws that allow riders to pass through the red light.
So, are these sensors used in the EU? And if so, are they sensitive to motorcycles?
Several of us on another forum suspect that because bikes are more prevalent, that your traffic folks might tend to use other sensors or to just set them to be less discriminating.
