One late night, I was at a stop light on a side street intersecting with a major 8 lane road. No cars were really coming from any direction, yet, the light would not change for me. Tempted to run the red, I noticed the crosswalk was ~10' from me. So instead of running the light, I jumped out to hit the crosswalk. Within seconds, the lights cycled. I was pleasantly surprised it worked.
