Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Any law against this? I deliver pizzas and anytime I get the chance, I'll sit back on the plate so that I can get the green arrow. I'm just wondering if there is some law or something saying I'm not allowed to do this so I dont get caught by surprise or something.

Flyin Miata Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm not sure why they would make this illegal. If anything you can say you just don't want to pull up all the way because of retards that cut corners short and might hit you. I've been in a car when an accident just like that happened and now I always sit back a little bit behind the white line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

evan9381 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 is it something where if there arent 2-3 cars deep in the lane, you wont get the arrow, so you sit back where the 2-3 car would be, but at the front of the line? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 The sensor in the lane, the "plate" sits like 3 or 4 cars back from the stop bar. If there's a car on it, it thinks there are 3 or 4 cars there, so it activates the Green Arrow to turn. So, you sit on the plate, 3 or 4 cars back usually....pretty simple. I have no idea if it's illegal. I doubt it though. Pickerington Road off 33 lets me do it pretty regularly . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2 Sweet Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I do it all the time, and then I laugh at everyone as they stare at me when I have the green and they are still stuck at the light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starkmaster03 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 yeah, i sit there until another car comes up behind and then I move one car length forward so that he is stuck on the plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akula Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ofcourse you realize it isn't a "plate" is it a loop of wire that detects magnetic interference. It shouldn't matter where you stop, triggering the green arrow is just you driving as safe as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 They are usually set back 3 car lengths so that 1 car doesn't get the arrow. SO it kinda does matter if you are on top of it, it only activates if you are on top for a period of time, if you just pass over it, you will not get the arrow.

dragknee66 Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I do it just to avoid the idiots that cant drive turning rite for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Matter of sense to me. I always use the sensor wires. What really pisses me of is the stupid bastards that sit a full length back at lights where they are right at the stop line for the straight ahead lane.

Radio Flyer1647545514 Posted May 1, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Ok, yeah, I was just wondering about this. I do it on Broad, right there by the meijer and Target and people just look at me like, you ass hole. Especially on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractor Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Nope no law against it. Actually if you look around there are signs pointing to where you should park your tire at most intersections. At the bigger intersections there ain't lines or signs, but you can clearly see the box you should sit in most of the time. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
street pilot Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I do it unless there are cars behind me, as then they would trigger it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin R. Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I carry a 2-ton stone with me and put it on them so everyone can have a constant green arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 Ofcourse you realize it isn't a "plate" is it a loop of wire that detects magnetic interference. It shouldn't matter where you stop, triggering the green arrow is just you driving as safe as possible. Precisely, it is a "loop detector", we help install these. From what I have been told, stopping on them does nothing, they are supposedly set to be tripped multiple times, or timered. I will back up and go over it multiple times if it takes to long. I am a little confused as to why people are mad? Only one person gets the green arrow, or what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamZman Posted May 2, 2008 Report Share Posted May 2, 2008 I am a little confused as to why people are mad? Only one person gets the green arrow, or what? Yeah it is rude if there are 30 cars waiting and you get the arrow for just yourself. Not that I havent done it.. Like most things in life, it's cool if you're the one getting the arrow and not the one waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted May 3, 2008 Report Share Posted May 3, 2008 I just stop on them and it works every time. I don't think you would need to go back and forth on them to trigger an arrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
