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.

But if you let a 25-year old stay just because he's quiet, then you need to let a 20 year old stay for the same reason. And a 10 year old. And a newborn.
The line has been drawn at 30. If you want that changed, go ahead and try to get it changed. Until then, it's 30, whether the person is polite and quiet or not.
