In Puerto Rico you can legally run red lights from midnight to 5am. What does this mean? Well you can’t just see a red light and gun it, but you can treat the light like a stop sign. Pull up to the light, if no one is coming, then you can gun it. When I first moved here, I didn’t believe it. I thought it was some form of Puerto Rican snipe hunting, that they were just F-ing with me. I used to see people running the lights all of the time (while not legal, people start running the lights about 11pm - 6am). I actually heard it from a cop. So I guess it is the real deal.

My understanding is Puerto Rico used to have a huge problem with car jacking. Being able to run lights when there is no traffic is supposed to be a cure for the problem. Maybe it works. I dunno. It is a sight to see if you aren’t used to it. People pull up to the light and then haul ass…
