If it's a red light anyway, let them be angry in their ignorance. Going faster and then braking is not saving them or you any time. I make a point to not be an obstruction, but if there's no gain to them from going faster and a loss for me (extra fuel), I'll go slower.

Wise choice to not shut down if your car isn't reliable for restarting.
