No, not unless they are maneuvering in conformance with traffic regulations (e.g.: right turn on red light). -------------------- see bellow link: Section 812.2
to exicute this correctly; first, you have to be on a one way street. Then the street that you are turning onto must also be a one way street. There for all traffic wanting to make a left hand turn on red, can do so because they are not required to cross oncoming traffic.
According to CRS 42-4-604, one may make a right turn on red if: - they come to a complete stop - they yield to pedestrians - they yield to other traffic legally using the intersection - no signs are posted otherwise (for example, "no turn on red")
(in the US) Most DMV regulations specify that only so-called "emergency response vehicles" may pass through 'controlled intersections' and then only with their audible and visual warning devices fully activated. Some jurisdictiosns require that these "emergency vehicles" actually come to a complete stop at each red light and stop sign before proceeding through the intersection agsainst the indication of the signal. As with most laws written by the individual states, they do vary. Check your own state's Motor Vehicle Codes for the answer that applies to your state.
yes the law does say you have stay stopped just stop and the go if no other traffic is comingANS2:In the U.S., a flashing red light at an intersection is treated as a stop sign. Some states permit motorcyclists to treat a non-changing signal as a stop sign if the pavement sensor does not detect them. At an intersection with a malfunctioning signal, the intersection is treated as a 4-way stop. For other situations, if you are certain that you can convince the police officer who stops you for running the red light that you waited a reasonable length of time and you didn't interfere with opposing traffic, the officer might not cite you. The law says that you don't enter the intersection on red unless directed by police.
The basic answer is 'no' - unless of course the Queens Messenger is being driven by someone who can legally pass through a red traffic light - i.e. a Police Officer in legal pursuit of a suspect.
postman are leally allowed to go through a red light
No, they are required to obey the laws except for the seat belt laws, they do have certin restrictions with that
Traffic approaching the light is to stop. If the way is clear, traffic can then proceed through the intersection.

In many cities, a right on red is legal ONLY after you have made a full stop and there is no oncoming traffic. If you fail to stop and/or yield to traffic that has the green light, you will be charged.
red light is used in traffic lights because red light has a "longer wavelength" than other colours
Google you state traffic laws and Ctrl + F red light violations.
Red=stop red flashing= light is broken, use your judgement in crossing.
There is no specific length of time for a red light. Traffic engineers make that determination according to the flow of traffic.
A red light traffic ticket may be obtained by a specific type of traffic infraction known as "running a red light." This means driving through an intersection without stopping if the light is flashing red, or simply driving through any solid red light. The light must either be equipped with a camera to photograph the vehicle license plate, or a law enforcement officer must observe the infraction and flag down the driver. Either way, the ticket involves a financial penalty typically ranging from $100 to $250.
All emergency vehicles can run a red light without penalty if on an emergency at the time. All other traffic including cycles must stop at the red light.
