besides being illegal they have caught on to this already so while a simple IR signal could change the lights a few years ago when they were first introduced those have all been phased out. Someone is trying to get rid of all their old stock.

WRT bugging out in traffic. 9/11/01 I had to get into downtown and pick my wife up as we carpooled. The law firm she worked for didn't release the staff until all the lawyers were safely out of the building so she was one of the last people to leave which put us behind a lot of the traffic. Changing the lights won't do any good as yuor still going to be stuck in the intersections because the previous cars won't have moved forward yet. We sat thought many light changes at every intersection because there was no where to move to.
