Late at night or early in the morning when I have to be out, I just become more aware of whats around me. If I have to stop at a stop light or an intersection somewhere, I'll stop, sweep the area 360 using my mirrors to complete the corners behind me, then I'll procedd right through the intersection whether the lights red or not. I simply dont wait around. During the scan, I'm also checking for the PD so I don't get bagged for running the red. Obviously, this works best when there isn't a threat of oncoming traffic in any direction...
