(Wish they'd do something like that hear. I count at least 5-7 red light runners at the two major intersections I travel often. It's so bad I wait an extra 2-3 seconds and scan for oncoming traffic even if the light's turned green or I'm coming up on it and it's green.

actually, by law, it's the driver's responsibility, before entering an intersection to assure that it is safe to enter that intersection, regardless of whether it has a stop sign, a stop light, or neither - and only enter if deemed safe. In any town on any day a vehicle may be entering at a high rate of speed that would prevent safe entry - it could be a violation (speeding, running red light, stop sign) - or it could be an emergency vehicle - police, emt/ambulance, fire truck.
That said, folks running red lights have become a frequent and common nuisance in many communities. I witnessed one just last Friday on my way home.
