Not guaranteed because the user may have set it up to ignore certain sized objects.

Wikipedia wasn’t updated to state that.
You state may have a similar rule, but you will need to look it up.

Indiana has a 2 minute law that allows bikes and motorcycles to proceed with caution if they are ignored for 2 minutes by a traffic signal. Not very helpful if traffic is heavy.
