Alan…:
I never stp at a red light at night… my brother might be coming the other way.
nickyboy:
Quite a few sets now are set to change to red both ways when no vehicles are present, mainly on narrow bridges etc. When a vehicle approaches from either direction the lights change immediately then go straight back to red.
So what happens if two cars approach from opposite sides at exactly the same time■■? 
Oh, I know - they both stay on red until a second one comes on one side!
As I’ve said before, we should adopt the continental approach and leave them on flashing amber at night. OR TURN THE FEKKERS OFF 
At temporary lights, day or night i usually jump them if its reasonably safe to do so. I heard a myth a very long time ago that jumping temporary lights, will not lead to a conviction, whereas fixed lights will…dont know if thats true or not.
A few months ago I was heading to the Industrial estate in Newbury to park up for the night, I had minutes of spread left and the lights went through 3 changes without letting me go, so i waited until it was clear and went through on a red light. What are you suppposed to do? To me the options were to take out my card there and then on the junction, or get to where i was going, lucky there were no cameras.
