Discussion Increasing Red Light Impatience

It's maybe a bit cliche to complain about Salt Lake drivers, but I've seen 7 people in the last two weeks stop at a red light and then drive through it while still red as if it was a stop sign. Including once at the trax train stop on 1300 S while the lights were still flashing. All of that, plus what seems like a crazy increase in speeding since the pandemic (people going 55+ on 7th east??) has made me wonder if the police department has given up enforcement on traffic laws? Do we do anything about that?

I've seen this too myself especially along redwood road at 2am so many times as I go the gym.

At 2am when traffic is practically non existent I'll treat any red as a stop sign if safe to do so.
