![]() The black box module will control LED blinkers and normal incandescent (bulb type) blinkers without any need for resistors or relays. On the rear of my customs the Indicator wiring will run into the electrics tray where it will link to the flasher relay or on my bikes, the black box control module. Issues will arise with the flash rate on some motorcycles however this is easily fixed. Lets start with the universal truth of electricity, and the universal way in which to wire your LED lights. ![]() Wiring LED turn signals on your motorcycle and troubleshooting issues: Ways to mount on the back of your motorcycle Ways to mount on the front of your motorcycle ![]() Over the years of customising motorbikes we have mounted more LED turn signals than we could count, we are always trying to find creative ways to mount them and so here are nine ways you can mount LED Turn Signals on your motorcycle.īefore we get into the number of ways you can mount LED indicators, I’m going to give you a brief run down on wiring and troubleshooting indicators. I made this video in good faith.How to Wire + Install LED turn signals on your Motorcycle 9 different ways it’s a way to post a message in a less formal way. This video is not meant to be 100% accurate. We have a traffic enforcement team who make traffic stops and issue citations / warnings to vehicles in high accident areas. I was on our CORE unit for a while and we spent the majority of our day enforcing and educating cyclists and pedestrians. I’ve also worked accidents where a vehicle not using a turn signal caused an accident. ![]() I’ve personally worked accidents where a cyclist using a turn signal could have prevented an accident. I’ve also issued citations to cyclists for being unsafe. I’ve issued citations to thousands of motorists for unsafe violations, to include violations in regards to unsafe driving to cyclists. I’ve personally worked accidents where the cars were at fault and many where the cyclists were at fault. In my many years here on patrol I have worked lots of accidents involving vehicles and bicycles. I invite you to respond appropriately to those issues. I blame the vehicles that disregard my safety, and I blame GTPD for not acting to protect my safety.ĭo bikes sometimes fail to signal or roll a stop sign? Sure. They have seen cars turn left across my path (and narrowly miss me as I respond) as I climb the Ferst hill and pass Fowler and Techwood. They've seen me bail onto the sidewalk as a car swerves into the bike lane in tech square. Scooters and pedestrians violating traffic laws.ĭue to the significant presence of GTPD on campus, they see these dangers all the time. Cars not yielding when it's not their turn. Cars turning right across the bike lane without looking. No bike lane and being edged by passing cars toward the sidewalk/gutter. Lack of appropriate marking that the bike lane ends or is closed. Buses, too, swerve into and block the bike lane (not just at bus stops). In my experience biking in and around the GT campus, most of the problems arise from cars entering or blocking the bike lane. Instead of addressing issues as is their responsibility, they blame bikers. This is gtpd's response to the lack of safety for bikers (as well as feeling unsafe as a biker, which is also important). The oncoming car obviously had the right of way, and signaling doesn't let you turn across someone else's lane. For starters, the biker (actor) in this video would have been hit if he signaled. The video ties the dangers of biking to not signaling. This message is willfully misleading and incredibly inappropriate. I apologise if this comes off as rude - I have tons of respect for you and I know y'all do great work. Tech has a robust Urban Planning program, I'd implore you to consult with them on ways to actually improve road safety at GT. GTPD, you should be focusing on driver education and enforcement, not putting resources into blaming cyclists for crashes. The massive deadly bull in the china shop that is America is the motor vehicle. There have been two peds killed in the past 5-6 years in NYC to my knowledge.Īll of this means that cyclists are NOT a real problem on our streets. I've never seen the actual stats as to how many people or killed or injured by cyclists, but it's small. not a car, truck, bus, or motorcycle).Īssuming all of those 540 peds were killed by cyclists, that is a tiny, tiny percentage of people killed by cyclists. Did you know that about 37,000 people were killed in ~6,300,000 motor vehicle crashes in 2016, only about 800 were cyclists? And of those 37,000, only ~540 were pedestrians who were killed by an "unknown/other" type of vehicle (i.e.
