Since moving to Rochester a couple of years ago, I have noticed that people seem to love running red lights here. You have to treat newly green lights like all way stops unless you want to get nailed by someone who must have a life or death emergency that requires him not to be a minute more late.
Here's an example: http://www.democratandchronicle.com/articl...206007/1168/RSS
The guy was a rear passenger. That should tell you how blatant this red light running was.
