I don't think this is really on-topic.

Possibly I got distracted by your sentence implying there is no reason to run a red, because it shows you really don't understand. I have multiple intersections on my morning commute where the safest time to cross the intersection is when I have a red light. Sometimes it's legal for me to run them, sometimes it isn't. That happens when intersections are designed for cars and not bicycles. If they were designed just as much for bikes, there would be a leading bike indicator at every intersection in America that has some type of bike infrastructure. You acted like that Anatole France quote wasn't relevant when it unequivocally is. If the safest thing for me to do is break the law, then the law is wrong.
