Another fairly successful way to trigger traffic lights is to shut off the engine and restart it.
Yep, that one works for me on the trouble lights. But you don't have to shut the engine off, all you have to do is tap the starter button. Don't hold it in or anything, just tap it enough to cycle it once or twice, that's all it takes to trip the magnetic sensors. I've yet to have a light fail to trip when using this method, even on lights that otherwise I could not ever get to notice the bike.

There's one particular light very near me that is horrible, one night around 2 in the morning I went up there just for grins and giggles and waited to see how long it would take. There's no traffic, so I was free to do whatever I wanted. First I tried parking on the seam/line........nothing. Next I tried putting the kickstand down on the line/seam......nothing. I turned the bike off and just sat there, and 10 minutes later nothing had happened. I turned the key on and thumbed the starter, and within 5 seconds the light changed to green. Now I can roll up there and when I know the light is supposed to turn green for me, I'll just thumb the starter button and it never fails to work.
Ride safe
