Hi Wangfeel,

It'd be good to see the context. Without one, I think it means the opposite; that you had to stop because the light was red.

Ex: I was hoping to make good time, but I kept hitting all the [red] lights. ("Red" is optional).

BTW: You need an article in "run a red light," and "through" is optional.

But let's see the context of your oringinal question.
