It's simple. Don't proceed unless you can see that it is legal for you to do so (can't see the green light? don't go.)

The trouble is when you have people who are dealing with driving in unfamiliar areas. You're always going to have someone who genuinely makes a mistake. Knowing this, you adjust light timing to give sufficient time for the intersection to clear up before the cross street gets a green.

You don't need to beat people until they're red and bloody with a rolled up red light camera ticket and call it "making the streets safer".
