Default green arrow trigger

does anyone here have trouble getting their bike to set off the trigger for a green turn arrow or other d.o.t. lights? i saw this guy on a suzuki gsxr 750 waiting at the carpool lane waiting for the light to turn green only for the other cars to go first because he was not over the inductive loop. most of the people i know think its a pressure pad like the contact pad infront of doors but its not so if you are not over the lines where the loop is you might not get the light if you are just in the middle. i did however think it was pretty funny when he started jumping up and down on it trying to get the light to turn.

There's a thread on this someplace. Here https://www.hdforums.com/m_1537808/tm.htm
Some states have a law that motorcycles can go if it does not change. Look up your state laws.

Sometimes I pull forward over the line and let the car behind me trigger it...
