Some worry that New York City’s crackdown on unsafe cyclists leaves them facing greater consequences than drivers, even though cars cause more fatalities.

Then lights should turn green for my bike, instead of me having to wait for a car to active the sensor on order to cross.
Some sensors in my city detect my bike, some only detect it if I tilt it almost right against the ground, and some don’t detect it at all.
You bet I’ll gladly run a red light if it won’t ever turn green for me.
In my city, I can trigger a traffic signal on my bike by going on the coil that senses the car. This is probably intentional given that the city also puts markings to show that bikes can trigger the sensor, though it does not appear to be any sort of special sensor. No idea if it’s natural that the coil can detect my bike or whether my city specifically tubed the system to detect bikes.
It used to be that those coils had trouble detecting motorbikes
I was gonna say I had to park my motorcycle at intersections and hit the crosswalk button before.
Both lights at the end of my residential street cannot detect my motorbike. If I’m heading out from home and there’s no cars around I’m essentially trapped (legally) since they’ve also banned right on red turns in my city.
I’ve had those work in other cities, but not this one. I’m also not going to dismount to push a button with a toddler on the back.
