Are red lights more of a suggestion these days?

I don't know about anyone else but I feel like on my daily commute I've been seeing this more and more. People are just cruising right through red lights after they have turned yellow and then red. Probably saw like 5 people doing it just on the way home yesterday. I know a lot of people have always either sped up or slowed down but it seems recently people are just ignoring them. It has gotten to the point where it feels like you need to wait at least a few seconds when your light turns green. Anyone else noticing this?

I have a red light by my house I run often. It takes ten minutes to change and you can clearly see if anyone is coming.
Marking that on my trashy bingo card

I treat them as a 4 way stop.

Can’t comment on that, but I know that stop signs are.

I always do this in my town in case somebody comes booming through the intersection. I like to be about second in line so the driver in front of me can test the waters.

I had to buy a dash cam last year because of how bad it has become on the road.

Definitely feels that way in Houston.

After watching countless videos of cars getting t-boned by red light runners, I usually look both ways before I venture out into the intersection.

If they proceed with caution, no biggie. If light is yellow and I’m turning, I’m in the middle of the intersection and going to turn.

Had someone trying to turn left on Kaliste Saloom from Ambassador probably 5 seconds after the light turned red. The guy flipped everyone off as he drove on by.

You normally dont? I always look left and right after the light turns green.

Go ride down st Claude. 24/7 running lights is the norm

If I’m remotely close to a yellow light I’m not slamming my breaks to stop. If the lights don’t have the blinking signals a quarter of a mile back to say the light is fixing to change then. Shame on them

Really bad in Baton Rouge... When I leave the state, especially west, I do not see it nearly as much.

Years go I heard a comedian talk aboot running lights in New Orleans. He said that the light turned red, then 7 cars went through anyway, closely followed by a school bus, then two nuns in a Carolla.

Yes and will remain so until they try to do something about it.

Had one lady honk at me while blowing through a flashing red one night. It's generally wild how many people don't understand what to do with a flashing yellow / flashing red or even a light out.

I lay on my horn when I see it. Yeah, we saw you, you POS.

It is incredibly bad in Lafayette and has been(though not quite as bad as now) for years. I would be in favor of the red light cameras coming back. But for running lights only because I like my speeding
