Now let's get municipalities to put those lights that detect when a pedestrian is crossing so that motorists have better visibility. Tons of crossings not connected to the street lights that need this.
Except if you're in a poor part of town. "Rarely enforced" laws are absolutely evil in my opinion, because it means they are really only enforced when convenient to meet other ends.
Take anti-sodomy laws before Lawrence v Texas. They were also "rarely enforced", but were conveniently used to call out gays and lesbians as "criminals" whenever it suited some bigoted politician.
In Chechenya there is a traffic light in red 24/7. It's there only to make you guilty when needed.

They gave fake names to the cops and got away with it. Well done, legal system.
It would be wonderful if one day such a concept was ancient and foreign.
A cop was on the corner and struck the pole with his nightstick as soon as I entered the road. I took it as a threat and retreated.
Asshole.
