The overwhelming majority of these citations are issued to those going through the end of the cycle, where vehicles in other directions are already stopped, waiting for the green.

This kind of light running is an annoyance, not a safety issue.

Show me one pic of such a red light runner getting into an accident.

Millions of photos - none of accidents.

That a 100% safety rate.

So what exactly is so dangerous about running lights in this way again?

I saw a head on collision caused by two cars pushing the end of cycle red. One was waiting for the intersection to clear to turn left. When the light turned red he turned. A car coming in the opposite direction had sped up to beat the red and hit him head on at full speed.

If this is allowed, the city will be dangerously short of taxpayer funds for bribery, corruption, campaign contributions, public employee unions, lavish public salaries and bennies, and crony contracts.
