Granted, if the light is red or turns yellow before the first riders crosses the intersection, the whole peloton stops. If not, we keep going and blow through the intersection, holding up cars for a decent amount of time, even making them miss their light sometimes. Surprisingly people are pretty accepting of it and it's common to find pictures and videos being taken. But of course, you still get the occasional impatient driver who forces his way through our group instead of waiting and going around.
If it is the Doral ride, they do what is proper and safe. I try to do the Saturday or Sunday ride when I can.
