If people routinely run the red light, it seems like an easy case to post an officer to do traffic stops and issue tickets. AFAIK, tickets issued by a sworn officer are broadly constitutional.
replyThere's a literal police station at the intersection and they don't pay any attention at all.
replyAre you bringing attention to this matter at your city council meetings? The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
replyI people are routinely running a red for a particular intersection, it seems likely that there is a design problem with the intersection or the signaling. Improving safety would be fixing the underlying problem.
replyIt's actually pretty common for some people to just run red lights when the road is really clear, especially at night. Best that could maybe be done would be to reduce visibility of cross traffic, so that the drivers can't tell from afar that the road they'll cross is clear - but this is likely to cause other kinds of risks.
replyThey do it when the road is busiest actually. Just following the bumper in front of them instead of looking up.
