The intent of the rules is to provide seniors with a place to be with other adults over 30. And it is to provide seniors to have a place where their under-30 younger family members and friends can visit, without imposing on the seniors who don't want younger people hanging out at the adult pools where there's a sign saying they're not supposed to be there.

Sounds a lot like "get off my lawn you whippersnappers!"

The red light was placed there for a safety reason, not because someone wants to be able to sit and watch the lights change. When the safety issues change the lights and the rules change. "Right on red after stop" wasn't always the rule, the rules were changed when it was pointed out that they didn't provide additional safety.
A polite and quiet 25 year old harms no one. The rules can be enforced to remove a boisterous and disrespectful 29 year old. Unfortunately, the rules allow a boisterous and disrespectful 39 year old or a crotchety, entitled 65 year old to stay.
