Yea I've been through this before. Most lights work off of inductive loops. There is a cable buried in the road. Hence the rectangular cuts in the road just before the line. Some say that you can put some "rare earth metal" magnet on the bottom of your bike to trip the sensor. But I haven't tried it yet. Also people say that you can shut off your bike and hit the starter. It should give off enough of a magnetic field to trip the sensor. I've tried this and it seems to work.

Best article I've read on the subject.

More and more places are using sensors that look like cameras mounted near the lights - no damage to the roadway, easier to replace, no inductive loop. Almost all the new lights that Texas DOT puts in have this technology, Passive Infrared (PIR) devices that detect the approaching vehicle. Unfortunately, we're too small sometimes to trigger them.

However in some states a cop will be sitting right there, watching the rider sit there for 5+ minutes... He's waiting for the rider to pull through so he can write a ticket
