No they don't. If there's no enforcement, and no moral reason to follow the law, you've reduced yourself to a robot if you follow it.
As far as red lights are concerned though, you'd better be damn sure cars or bikes or pedestrians aren't going to leap out from around a corner before you run them. Especially if the intersection is empty at 3am and visibility is poor. In fact in that situation it's better to play it safe.
