Cant motorcyclists make a right turn (and in spots where there is no right on red, let motorcyclists be exempt), then find an area where they can make a U turn? Thats what I do in my car when I'm at a light where the sensor is obviously broken. Yea - it takes a few seconds longer. But when your on a cycle, your generally saving time in traffic and parking anyway.

I just think letting people run red lights sets a very bad precident and motorcyclists are going to DIE "I can gun it and beat that oncoming traffic".
