Also from my old traffic engineering courses, it is driven into your head that if reams of normal people are doing illegal actions, your design sucks. That's why there are limits you are allowed to design a signal to have a red. IF it goes past that point people will tend to think something is broken and do dangerous crap.

People are lemmings, instead of giving a ticket to the lemming as its falling off the cliff, you build stuff to keep them walking around safely.

But it is like argiuing the drinking and driving thing. One side is coming up with solutions where the other screams like a mongoloid "THE ONLY SOLUTION TO DRINKING AND DRIVING IS TO NOT DRINK AND DRIVE".
I work on 5th Street. I walked by there, they did build stuff to keep them walking around safely. They were walking into traffic!
