Most traffic lights are activated when a passing vehicle triggers an electromagnetic coil buried in the road. You can often see where the road surface has been cut. Sometimes the council paints a row of diamonds or a little bike stencil to mark the buried cable.
Position your bike above the coil to activate the lights.
Note: this may not work for carbon fibre bikes.
