  most dangerous red lights and stop signs are monitored by authorities to reduce accidents. There ate cameras mounted everywhere. I worked on a mobility project for the city of Monza to make street crossing safer around schools and public offices. Unfortunately bikes don't have plates and we can't send the rider a ticket after the fact. Anyway: I challenge you to monitor a stop sign on a road heavily used by riders working for any of the delivery companies and see what happens.

    Seems the goalposts shifted. Now cars only follow the rules at the “most dangerous” intersections? They all seem pretty dangerous for a pedestrian in the crosswalk. My city actually does have stop sign cameras, a relative rarity in the states. There are 8 of them for thousands of stop signs. Maybe it’s different where you are but here almost nobody stops at a stop sign properly and sometimes pedestrians and cyclists get killed because of it. The cameras generate constant complaints from people who live near them because even though they’re marked, drivers are so unaccustomed to a full stop that they struggle to do so even when they know it results in an automatic fine.

      > Now cars only follow the rules at the “most dangerous” intersections? that's quite the interpretation there... the most dangerous intersections are already monitored, don't need to challenge me to do it, they are already studied to improve safety. sure enough, the less dangerous are going to be less dangerous. At least I believe that's what's going to happen, no matter if it's cars or bikes.
