Default Maybe it's safer to run red lights than to wait for green lights.

to stop when you have the green light? I see that as preferable to
running red lights yourself.


The problem is on multiple lane roads where you cannot always see the
outside lane of traffic, especially when the inside lane of traffic has
stopped.

What happened to me on Sunday was that there were 3 or four cars stopped
in the left lane, but the right lane was clear, and the driver blew
through the light in the right lane. She was obscured from view by the
other cars until the last minute.
