As someone who lives next to an intersection where cars routinely run red lights, this truly sucks and I hope it gets overturned. I understand the judge's reasoning, but running red lights is dangerous and we need much stricter enforcement.
- rootusrootus 8mo agoI 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.
- tsimionescu 8mo agoIt'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.
- tootie 8mo agoThey do it when the road is busiest actually. Just following the bumper in front of them instead of looking up.
- toast0 8mo agoIf 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.
- tootie 8mo agoThere's a literal police station at the intersection and they don't pay any attention at all.
- otterley 8mo agoAre you bringing attention to this matter at your city council meetings? The squeaky wheel gets the grease.
- estimator7292 8mo agoSo your problem is with police not doing their job. Don't you think the more appropriate solution is to insist that cops do the job they're paid for instead of funneling local dollars out to some silicon valley scumsucker?
