update on the traffic light
okay, so my dad helped me out on my trouble with traffic lights:
Hi Darlin,
I've got just the thing for you to solve your light problem.
Go to www.signalsorcerer.com or call 1-800-310-3026. If they work for Harley's they will surely work for mini's. Also FYI its metal mass and not weight that triggers most traffic signals.
LOVE YA
DADDYO
so it's metal mass! after a little googling around on the subject, i've learned that signal detectors are kind of like metal detectors buried under the asphalt.
not enough metal mass? well, then the light doesn't know you're there. who knew?
very cool.
p.s. btw dad, if you post a comment then others can also benefit from your infinite supply of obscure knowledge!
