I would pull up to the white line at the intersection... then roll back a half a car length... then pull up again. The traffic light would think there are more cars waiting and the red light would change to green in a few seconds. A friend of mine showed me this little trick. I thought it was rather interesting.

I do this in the left turn lanes at red lights. Doesn't always work. The problem here isn't the timing but most intersections are looking for three cars before turning on the turn signal. So the backup routine helps.
