I have personally come close to being hit several times by cars running the red light at high rate of speed. If actually hit, the result probably would be a fatality rather than just a fender bender. They replaced the traffic light with a rotary and now there are no more traffic jams and if accidents do occur, they are more likely to result in no bodily damage.
