Stop lights as stop signs.

With gas prices remaining high, it's time for some easy alternate solutions.  Back in the 1970s, turning right on red became legal to stop wasting gas.  Well, how about we treat stop lights as stop signs during certain times of the day.  Honestly, how many times have you sat at a light with no cars in sight.  Now, at 10PM, on a non-major road or highway, why should anyone sit at a red light for a minute where they're just idling, wasting gas.  It doesn't make sense. 

Well, you might say, this is just going to increase accidents.  It might a little, but who doesn't have the common sense to know that a car is too close to safely cross the road?  Well, drunk people and people who shouldn't be driving.  These are people who shouldn't be driving in the first place and are a small minority of drivers.  I don't think that the entire driving populace should be punished because of a few, well, idiots.  Let's save some gas and some cash.  It may not seem like much, but, if millions of people start doing this, the difference might be noticeable.  People are going to keep driving, so we need to find a way to use less gas.  This is one small way, but many of these solutions together can start to make a difference in gas consumption.
