most of my riding is in busy areas of Los Angeles County with 45-50 mph speed limits where you usually get 2-3 drivers trying to beat every light so I basically slow down and prepare to stop at every light/stop sign/intersection and I try to ride up into quieter neighborhoods or in the mountains or other places without intersections when I can. The only time I run reds are on big 20+ person group rides to make sure I don't get dropped. I trick myself into believing in safety in numbers so as long as I am riding with 20-100 people that I'll be safe. It's like the mentality of the swimming portion of the triathlon in the great white infested waters here where your odds are better when you are one of 100 people instead of one person
