Is my parking brake connected to the traffic lights?
When I pull up at the lights and sit on the foot brake it takes ages for them to turn green but as soon as I apply the parking brake the change no matter how long I have been there.

Well all you need to do is lightly press the throttle and the P brake will release

My point is that they appear to stay red until I apply the parking brake. No matter what vehicle I’m driving.

If you want them to turn green, just look away and focus on something else for a moment Long succession of Disco's since 2001...

The same with stop/start vehicles - the second you engage system to cut engine, the fecking lights change or the queuing traffic moves off 
Something linked for sure or it's life's way of telling me that it's out to pee me off for yet another day !!
