Though on that subject, you could get the same benefit by increasing the amount of time the entire intersection stays red before allowing the next direction to proceed, likely without the accompanying increase in rear-end collisions that intersection cameras cause.

Then you’d reduce intersection throughput
In the 2019 Alberta study it found a 5.4% reduction in injury collisions with the type of photo radar you are taking about.

Though I’d rather see the car limiting functionality of Europe
