Normally a Red "stop" light requires the car to come to a stop and it can only proceed FORWARD if the light changes to green Or if it is a blinking Red light then they can proceed when traffic clears the intersection. Right Turn on Red allows you to come to a complete stop and then proceed to turn Right if the traffic allows. This allows you to proceed even though you do not have a Green light.

It has to have its lights and sirens going, and it has to slow down for the red light to make sure the intersection is clear to proceed. But, yes, it is legal for an ambulance to proceed through a red light.
Yellow is proceed with caution.
You stop on green when the conditions are unsafe to proceed. Just because the light is green doesn't mean that you have an unobstructed path in which to drive. You never proceed on a solid red light unless instructed to do so by a police officer. A blinking red light means to stop and proceed when it is safe to do so ... just like a stop sign.
It means stop first then can proceed if clear
stop and proceed when clear, with caution (of course)
State law allows a motorcycle to proceed through a red light provided it goes through three complete cycles without giving the intersection where the motorcycle is waiting a green light to proceed, and only after the cyclist determines that it is safe to proceed. This was passed due to the difficulty road sensors have in detecting motorcycles.
Do what they tell you to do
It means stop first then can proceed if clear
If the lights are broken you can proceed with caution, BUT, you need to be able to prove that they were broken.
Stop, look both ways, and then proceed if no vehicle is coming.
