I've always kinda admired the French disregard for red traffic lights. Seems for feasible for pedestrians than cars, though^^

  This is a stunt though, and people had been posted at junctions with little visibility. But otherwise, it's not the first time I hear a comment similar to yours but I'm always surprised because I have never ever seen anyone willfully disregard a red traffic light in France. It seems to me that they are taken much more seriously than they are in for example the US (where it's not rare to see one or two cars getting through after the light has turned red, or just before it turns green) or neighbouring countries like Belgium. To me, red lights are the one traffic rule that is taken as an absolute thing to respect in France. Maybe it's different in the south or Paris though, I don't really know these places that well when it comes to driving.

    _So many_ people are running red lights in Paris, there's been a huge increase in the past year or so. I think it's mainly food delivery service scooters.

  It works fine for cars too as long as everyone has equal disregard! See: Southeast Asia.
