I was going to say the same thing.

I'm pretty sure a lot of the lights around my area have a buried wire and just won't trip until something heavy crosses it. You should see the look on the drivers face behind me if I start moving up and motioning them to pull up. They just don't get it... until the light never f-ing changes.

The light I mentioned, I pull ahead of the white line so the idiots in the car behind will actually cross/trigger the wire to activate the light.

I've already got off the cycle and told the idiot to pull up to trip the light or prepare to wait until dark.

Yes, you mofo's, people live in Kansas

Yes, we have pavement. There are no curves, but there is pavement.

I can't wait till this gets passed. Not that I sit too long waiting, but the local cops are asshats about this and I will have a copy of this law in my wallet at all times to throw in their face.

Yep...that and the fact that EVENTUALLY a cage will roll up behind us and the light will change but not always and it may take a while. Some politicians just need a big ole glass of STFU...well actually most of them.

Sure there are....you just have to look harder for them. Stony Creek Road in Cowley County....Grouse Creek Road, also in Cowley County....Route 4 between Alta Vista and Dover....Carnahan Road in Manhattan...all very nice.

Lessee...Jersey, or KS?

You're kidding, right? Unless you're looking for a vast area to land a fucking plane in, there ain't shit in KS.
