Induction sensors seemingly ignoring motorcycles

Reported via desktop in the Request Timing Review category anonymously at 12:09, Thu 7 August 2025

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 7992514.

This report relates to the signals on the A43 northbound arriving from the A14 junction. That signal was not selectable from the map.

I've noted on a number of occasions when the road is not busy (particularly at night) that when approaching a red light on a motorcycle it can take some time to change green, usually I am waiting for a car to arrive before this happens. When driving the same time/route in a car the signal changes to green almost immediately on arrival.
