If it's deserted enough that I'd be running the red light rather than tripping it, I'll pull a right on red, quick u-turn, then right on green to go all the way straight across, always making sure I clear the intersection ~80' or so before I do my u-turn. If there's a handy parking lot to turn around in instead, I do that and then turn left leaving it.
