What about a convertible top down car? That gives a very good view of x-traffic in the distance.
Even a regular caged in car at some intersections can give a long view down each way of the x-street.
So perhaps the law should be changed that if you have a good view, say 200 yards in each direction, while at a red light then it is OK to run it.

I mean that you have the whole hood of the car in front of you and you're sitting at a lower level. There's no good way to change the law so I'm just glad they don't enforce it (here). At least some places have traffic lights that just flash after a certain time at night which eliminates some unnecessary waiting time for everybody...
