Newbie Question: Light Sensers

[TimmyTwoPedal]

So this is a matter of dispute between a friend and myself.

The trick of lowering you bike sideways when you stop at a stop light, does it make the light change faster? Is there a sensor that is able to register the bike and therefore change the light?

I know this question sounds ridiculous, but I need an answer to clear this up. Also if anyone could provide proof, one way or the other.

Thanks a lot!
