It's time to increase fines from $85 to $500 for blocking the box on any and all intersections. Doing so would make it's safer for everyone including pedestrians.

I can think of several specific intersections in both my home city and current city where nearly every light cycle a law is broken. Running reds, continuing advanced lefts several cars after signal change, near pedestrian misses, blocking the intersection, texting while driving, lane changes mid intersection, turning left but jumping 1-2 lanes extra to the right.

If your city has a stroad, you probably have an intersection experiencing this daily.
