I'm not saying you can blow through lights, I'm saying that when it's the middle of the night, you stop at the light, look around, make sure it's clear and continue.

I'm out super late almost every night, the roads are empty. There is no reason to sit at a red light with no other cars coming. You would still have to yield to pedestrians and its very rare I see anyone on the sidewalks at that hour anyway.

How is that any different than a stop sign? They either need to allow us to continue, or change more lights to flashing red during late night hours like some areas already do.
