Green Light Trigger is available in two models: the Standard Green Light Trigger, and the improved, more powerful Green Light Trigger HP.

The Green Light TriggerTM attaches to the bottom of any bike and helps make the bike more "visible" to traffic signal detectors. Bikes with Triggers get stuck at red lights far less often than those without. It's really quite simple, slap it on the bottom of your bike, drive over the sensor in the road, the light is aware that you've arrived, and you'll get the green light just as if you're a car or truck.

FAQ

Why doesn't my bike trigger a light change, and how does the Green Light Trigger work?

Traffic signal sensors are essentially metal detectors buried in the road surface. These "inductive loop" sensors are easy to spot because they have a circular, square, or diamond-shaped saw cut in the pavement just before the intersection. There is a weak radio frequency field over the coil, and a large inductive mass disturbs that field. Loop detectors are meant to pick up the presence of large masses of metal - like cars and trucks - sitting still over the detector loop.

Most modern bikes don't have enough inductive material in their frames to trip the sensor, and what they have tends to be oriented vertically above the loop (making it harder to sense) so we get stuck.

The Green Light Trigger emits a wide and powerful magnetic field that when passed over a detector loop, disturbs the loop's field, simulating the arrival of a much larger vehicle. When the control computer sees that signal, it knows someone's there, and the biker gets a green light, just like everyone else.

Does it really work?

Yes. You can expect to cut the number of signals that leave you stuck by 75% or more.

Is this one of those MIRT light changers I've heard about? Does the Trigger make the light change to green like the gadget on emergency vehicles?

The Green Light Trigger doesn't force the light to change. It just lets the sensors know you're there so you get your fair turn.

It is legal in all 50 states, and it was actually specifically exempted in the terms of a law passed in Illinois meant to forbid the use of MIRT's. The Trigger is a passive device that only announces your presence to the detector. It has been used by thousands of people, including many police motorcycle officers.

Are there signals that the Trigger won't trip?

Some loop detectors are so far out of proper adjustment that nothing short of an armored car will trip them, with or without a Trigger. In those cases, a complaint to the local traffic department will usually fix the problem. Some areas use infrared, laser, or motion-detector sensors, and the Trigger won't affect them, but they're rare. Also, there are different kinds of loop detectors. Some are diamond, square, circle, or rectangle in shape. In the vast majority of cases, the Trigger will work perfectly. You can expect to cut the number of stuck signals you encounter by 75% or more.
