"Your choices are (1) get off and push the pedestrian's walk button,
or (2) run out of patience and run the sucker."

actually, there's a 3rd choice when (1) is not available and (2) is
undesirable: 3) right-turn-on-red followed by a u-turn.
i usually only have this problem (in downstate illinois) late at night,
so i usually opt for (2).  i have talked to the police about it, and
while they expressed sympathy, they wouldn't bless the technique.  it's
up to the individual cop to be either reasonable or ornery...
