I am always in search of an optimized route home. Just as I get out of the office parking lot, whether I turn right or left is dependent on the signal to my right. In the case where I turn left, I go through the another parking lot - this eliminates 2 signals, but introduces a third just as I exit the other parking lot.
During rush hour, this third one is a large risk: It always schedules the cross traffic a lot more time than me.
There are two ways to trick the signal scheduler:
1. Go up to the line, reverse back a few inches. Works sometimes...
2. Put the car into park, hop out, press the walk button for pedestrians crossing the cross traffic road. This one works for sure! However, if you time your exit from your car badly, the guys behind you will be pissed when the signal goes green and you're outside the car.
Obvious disclaimer: Do this at your own risk - I am not responsible for anything you do.
