run a stop light

Question

How do you say run a stop light, run a stop sign? and jump the curb?

Answer 1

In Spain: saltarse un semáforo, saltarse un stop (=saltarse una señal de stop), subirse al bordillo/subirse a la acera.

Answer 2

For running a stop light or sign, I'd say:

Saltarse/pasarse el semáforo/el alto

To jump the curb:

Brincarse el bordillo

In Mexico, the common term is "faltar de parase al semáforo rojo."

(I´m not sure what you mean by "jump the curb.")

Answer 4

desobedecer un semáforo rojo.
