Why would the lights necessarily be red? Or are you referring to the yellow/orange cast when incandescent (indoor tungsten) lighting is used? If shot on film, then a tungsten balanced film will combat this, or use of a filter on daylight film, and then maybe a Curves tweak in PS once scanned. If digital, then setting the white balance low (3200K) or even lower will lose any red, or tweaking the file in PS again. A lot of public space lighting is actually colder (more blue) than normal tungsten lighting - what I would call 'half-blue' is common - anything around 4400K.
