Are people asleep at the switch? Perhaps they are "distracted" on the phone?
Have a look at this video on YouTube showing quite a number of incidents where people have run red lights.
There you are minding your own business and - wham! Now you're a victim.

The aftermath is that innocent people get hurt.
Stay aware - try not to let this happen to you.
Safe driving...
