    Joined: Apr 2011 From: Port Orchard, WA I Ride: 2007 Moto Guzzi Norge, 1988 H-D Electra-Glide |  Traffic Signals We have all run into that recalcitrant traffic signal which never seems to find a bike, whether it is the small step through or the turn key touring behemoth. There is a state legislator who is willing to run a bill next session to help us out, but she needs our help. Over the summer, blithely assuming it ever gets to the west side, when a light refuses to notice you, whether it be to turn left, turn right, or go straight please let me know. I will be compiling the results on a Google map to present to the legislature as we discuss it, both before and during the upcoming session. |

As much as I would like too, I cannot get to every part of the state to look for these lights. (Would be better than working, but there is that whole cash flow issue.) I will definitely have fun in Vegas.  | |

I will also be plotting the hits from Oregon, in case someone down there wants to look at the traffic signal issue. | |
