CityCyclingEdinburgh was launched on the 27th of October 2009 as "an experiment".
IT’S TRUE!

Well done to ALL posters
It soon became useful and entertaining. There are regular posters, people who add useful info occasionally and plenty more who drop by to watch. That's fine. If you want to add news/comments it's easy to register and become a member.
RULES No personal insults. No swearing.

“The signals are having a positive impact on speed through the village, delivering a reduction of up to 13%. Since they were installed 6 months ago, Scotland TranServ has continued to closely monitor the performance of the lights, working closely with Transport Scotland and the local authority.”

"…since the lights were installed in late 2017, they have been activated by speeding vehicles more than 370,000 times.
And on nearly 80,000 occasions, people have run the red light.” Daily Record
The amount of state-funded infrastructure required for lawless motorists is completely ludicrous.
And it's not scalable to have the lights everywhere
As usual the problem is lack of prosecution. The drivers jump the light because they know there is unlikely to be any repercussions. If there was a traffic camera recording and sending letters to them compliance would be much higher.
Although by my reckoning that is more than 500 activations a day. :-o
