Large neodymium magnet on the bottom will do it. Most are induction activated. They taught this in every motorcycle driving class I ever attended, along with the rules for legally running a red light.

That way you'll also automatically collect all sorts of valuable metal treasures along the route. For free!!

At least the screws won't collect in your tires! Lol

No, it won't. I invite you to get some large magnets and place them directly on the loop cuts in the street.

Well yeah, they have to move over the sensor loop. You can't just place it in the center. It's part of a process that happens as, you know, you pull up to the light. They are a little fancy.
