If a scale is open and the (on the hwy) reader board says bypass but the pre-pass beeps RED do you enter the scale?

Prepass trumps weigh in motion
Red light -> enter scale
Disregard weigh in motion signRedRover, NavigatorWife, Dave_in_AZ and 4 others Thank this. -
The PrePass doesn't know the scale may really be closed. Maybe they did close the scale, but forgot to turn off the PrePass, it dosn't matter to PrePass. All it knows is that it gave you a red light and will know if you went in or bypassed.
PrePass tells you to go in, and you don't, it will flag you. It dosn't matter if the scale is really closed. Old dogs don't seem to get this trick.EddieK, NavigatorWife, WildTiger1990 and 4 others Thank this. -
II bypassed a scale with a red light on the PrePass once, i knew it was really closed. I got red lights at every scale for the following 90 days. It wasn't worth the trouble.
Not everyone has this kind of problem, YMMV.RedRover, NavigatorWife, DSK333 and 2 others Thank this. -
I used to get redlighted all the time at the scale on 64 east in KY, even when it was closed. If I know they are closed, I bypass but if they are open and I get a redlight, I enter the scale.

Trucks equipped with transponders follow in cab signals
That would make a great signRedRover, Balakov100, DSK333 and 8 others Thank this. -
I can’t think of a state that doesn’t tell you what to do? Some states tell you to follow your in cab transponder....
Edit to add: I always go with whichever one lets me NOT go into the scaleNavigatorWife, RedRover, sevenmph and 7 others Thank this.
