My personal stlye of city riding utilizes the tactic of avoidance of these troublesome intersections whenever possible.
The most deadly type of accident involving a car/truck/bus and a moto-sumpin' is when an oncoming vehicle
turns left without signalling, in front of a moto.
Be Aware out there, you're all invisible when riding scooters....

Not in Washington state it is not and I doubt it is legal anywhere else. Just because they sell it does not make it legal to use.
oh i was just going off what it says in the description
"Is the RLC-40 Red Light Changer legal?
Yes, in all states. That's because this is a passive device, which means that it changes a light only when it fails to detect the presence of a motorcycle. It is not a MIRT device, to be used only by emergency vehicles. MIRT devices are not legal for the public to use. However, the RLC-40 is also currently being used by many Police Departments for their motorcycles."

That is BS. If it is going to change the light, it can NOT be passive because it has to send out something to trigger the traffic light.

I usually do the... change lane, and go straight until you can find a place to make a u-turn, or a left turn, and then a right turn.
or get off (or ride to) the traffic light button to press it, in order to change it.
It has been alleged that I have been known to run a light, especially when it seems that there isn't anyone around.
Do this at your own risk. I'd advise to find out if it's legal or not for your local area.
There is obviously a legal way to deal with a traffic signal that does not sense your bike.
HAS TO BE, or there would be riders everywhere holding up their bikes at the stoplight forever
or waiting for a heavy vehicle to occupy the same signal loop.
Legislators may/may not be aware of the problem, but Law Enforcement officers know what's going on.
