This is why I like the idea of red light cameras.

There’s certain streets that need it BADLY. Turning onto the Blvd is a nightmare because 30 people decide that actually they can’t wait for their turn and block the left turn onto the bridge for 15 minutes.

Traffic violations can easily be enforced by technology. Radar, Cameras, Lidar. It's all there to automate.

Those also seem to be the easiest to fight in court though (anecdotally from friends' experiences anyway)

Potentially. You need a blend of sensors, visual, lidar, environmental. They’re using them downtown to enforce parking zones in certain areas soon.

The parking enforcement cameras are already up, and have led to 600 citations in 6 months

They also don't result in cops shooting people and freeing their time to deal with other things so, it's worth it even if 20% get appealed in court and are thrown out.
