Bonus points: eliminating traffic lights saves money because those fucks are expensive even just to maintain.

Here in UK they regularly break down as well. My office overlooks a busy roundabout that has lights at peak times. At just about every red you'll see someone jumping it anyway. So we also need to 'educate' drivers to stop when told to. Hit their wallet, crush their cars, ban them from driving. I don't care how much it inconveniences them, the dead person or the one who's had a leg amputated is inconvenienced far more. BTW, I drive almost daily.
