Well, these things must have sensitivity adjustments, because there is a set of them on the UCSB campus that controls a bike/car intersection. Bikes have no trouble setting off the loops on the bikepath. The cuts in the pavement make me think that the mechanism is no different than that used for cars at "real" intersections. -- Todd Day | todd@ivucsb.sba.ca.us | ivucsb!todd@anise.acc.com "All theory, no practice.
