Running red lights

No because I’m not a troglodyte that can’t wait 20 seconds for it to turn green

Cleat vision all-around?

No trees, bushes, obstacles?

I'll do a stop and go, if safe.

In Atlanta they go even if people are coming.

I’ve done it without thinking and then realized I did a few times. I don’t do it on purpose though. It does seem ridiculous having to sit there for nothing.

A town west of us had their traffic light go down and they put up temporary stop signs, the traffic flowed so much better that they did away with the lights altogether.

On a 4 way stop light in a residential area, if no one is coming, do you run it?

“Run it” is the wrong term.

Come to a complete stop. If it’s a long useless light that shouldn’t exist in the first place, stop, look all directions, and proceed as deemed appropriate.

Do the right thing. Even when no one is watching.

Had to Google that one.

Depends.

Time?

Where is this residential area?

What if I told you that stopping at a red light just because it's red is actually the wrong thing?

The government's lightbulb doesn't keep you safe. You should check for when it's safe to proceed through an intersection. If there is so much traffic on a road that everyone slowing to a stop and checking up actually makes the flow of traffic less efficient, only then should lights be installed and obeyed.

If you obey lights when there's no traffic, you are brainwashed and conditioned to obey the government just because, and for that you are in the wrong.
