I have problems in Arizona and have to go hit the cross walk button to get some lights to change I wonder if this would help.

I think the consensus on these is a big "maybe".

I also think that under "Alternative Methods", the "Report the traffic light" is the best thing to do.  That way, you're also helping out other motorcyclists.  I've heard of some highway departments even enlisting the assistance of the rider that is having difficulty to get things adjusted properly.

Check the laws in your state. In Illinois they changed the law a bit to allow bikes to run a red light after waiting an 'reasonable' amount of time for the light to change.

We have that law in MN.  I've been known to wait as long as 5 seconds.

That sounds reasonable to me.

Those magnets are powerful, and fun to play with.
I've put the kickstand down on the loop and had good luck at some stubborn lights.

If you can see the cuts where the wire was installed the center cut is where you want to be.  There is twice as much wire in the center cut as the wire is wound in a figure 8 in the cut.  Stay behind or on the stop bar.  Like someone said report it to your local Pubic works so they can tune the loop detector,  then run the dang thing.

If you get a magnet with a small hole in it, it can double as a deer whistle.

My Greenlight trigger works well when I can see the lines of the sensors and put the bike directly over top of them.  When I can't see the lines......not so much.  For me it was a waste of money.

What can you see these days?

Just make sure that you install them the right direction. Installing them backwards will make the deer chase you

How about my fist in your belly?      You're an animal, Poke.

I put 4 of the super powerful neo magnets on bottom of my bike they were rated at being able to lift over 100 pounds each...I epoxied 1 right in front of the radiator inside the fairing as low as possible, 1 in the center just ahead of the rear tire...then I put 2 on the centerstand...results...a few places got better...most did not...maybe I should have epoxied them to the bottom of my boots.

I can see too many times when this would prove to be a bad idea.  Both on and off the bike.

Stop and put your foot down on a manhole cover.
Foot suddenly getting stuck to muffler or some other part of the bike.
Can't get foot off of footpeg.

And off the bike:
Step on a metal door sill.
Try to walk across a sewer grate.

Fold the ten bucks in half and double it as you put it back in your pocket.
