If there's an adjacent cross-walk with a walk request button, move over to the cross-walk, push the button, and go when the walk signal switches (which probably is the same time as the traffic light switches).

The other alternative is to find other roads on your route that might not have signals. Sometimes moving down a block or two will yield a different traffic pattern.

ps -- I love the bicycle camera signals we have in CA, but I always feel silly waving at them. Cars think you're crazy.
