The best way to avoid two red lights is to use two right turns.
As I was traveling behind a wall of slow traffic that had been bunched up by previous red lights, I look ahead just in time to see yet another light going red. Using a turn lane to bypass the traffic, I made a right at the light onto a frontage road alongside the highway.
Keeping pace with the traffic that had just started to accelerate again, I drove along the frontage road until the next stoplight on the highway, which had also turned red, so I pulled the same maneuver back onto the highway and passed the entire group of cars right as their light turned green and all I had ahead of me was empty highway.
