They really will be a lot more usable if the signalised intersection priorities are sorted out properly, and signal disobedience would drop significantly too.

Added to that the SMH moderator nazi filter posting what they want to post. Truth in the media never existed.AndrewBurns wrote:Already lots of the same stupid comments. I really hate online newspaper comment sections, seems that only the worst people in the world use them most of the time.
But to my point, I stop at the lights when I approach one and all those that complain that cyclist don't can go jump because I do.

Isn't this the same paper that complained about revenue raising when it came to booking drivers who were caught by red light cameras?SmellyTofu wrote:Added to that the SMH moderator nazi filter posting what they want to post.

Issues with triggering - 99% of the time were due to people not stopping on the sensor, i think about twice on Bourke St they didnt trigger when they should have.
people just didnt stop anywhere near the sensors time after time - it really was that simple.

We install a push button on a post facing the cyclist. If the sensor does not detect him/her they can hit the button so the light does change for them, simple.

SKM Report
The one on page 8 looks nice (induction loops that cause a "reassurance light" to light up when a cyclist has been detected, plus a button in case they weren't detected - as well as a rail to hold.)
The traffic light set at the bottom left of page 11 looks to be getting a bit too complicated, though.

The green bike stays up until a car hits the loop and then they red out for a little while. There's a button for bikes if you want to hurry up the process of the rightful order being restored.
