This weekend I used a video camera and a single line of code to capture short video clips of every car that ran the stop sign in front of my house.
We live on a very low-volume street; ~12 cars/hour on the weekend.

In eight hours of footage, my setup detected 79 stop sign runners. That's almost 10 per hour. 83%.

@DrTCombs

The number of red light runners seems to have increased exponentially since the pandemic. Since some of the worst intersections have 3 traffic lights, it has to be distraction causing it. Some smaller intersections have stop signs with flashing light halos. How do you not see that?

@VHasch I don't think it's an issue of not seeing. I think it's an issue of not thinking it matters.

No amount of flashing lights will make people realize that they are engaging in anti-social behavior.
