Red light cameras would be a great idea for this city. They have them all over the place in Toronto, and I've noticed that there are far fewer red-light runners at these intersections than there were a few years back. Now, I'm not nearly as enthusiastic about speed cameras and photo radar in general, because it
is nothing but a money grab. Running red lights is far more dangerous, not to mention it's a serious violation of other drivers' right-of-way.

London isn't the worst, trust me. This is practically a daily occurance in Toronto, people will always try to get through the intersection at any cost and it's not uncommon to see three cars moving through after the turn signal has expired. My favourite are the people who try and beat oncoming traffic by bolting through
just as the light turns green (with no advanced green).
My favourite London move, though, are people who proceed through a red light upon seeing the
green left-turn signal. I've seen this happen twice here, but never anywhere else. No excuse for that, just pure inattentiveness.

Toronto has several intersections where you're not allowed to turn right on a red. Even London has a few along Hamilton Road. I think the city is well within its bounds by restricting right turns on reds at certain intersections.
