I’m questioning that you saw someone in New Haven get pulled over for a traffic infraction. I’ve never heard of that happening. /s , but seriously… I’ve never seen it or heard of it happening. I know at one point in the 90’s the police were told not to.

I know it was an incredible sight! It's actually happened a few times at the new intersection of the route 34 connector and orange st. There's red light runners essentially every single cycle of the signal because people are flying off the highway and not following the reduced speed limit signs in advance of the signal (although I don't fully blame them, nothing was done to change the design of the road to make it feel less like a highway) so there's been some targeted enforcement there.
