American drivers disregard those electronic signals almost as readily as they disregard unlit signs, stop signs and red lights; especially in rural farmland regions such as Gilroy. (Less so when it’s due to a train track, more so when it’s due to impaired visibility.)

Red light cameras are a somewhat effective solution for attentive drivers, so long as their car has a license plate (which is also not reliably enforced in the US). However, the inherent flaws of the scissor intersection, and the risks posed by inattentive drivers, are only addressed by replacing the scissor intersection with something else.
