I think if every cyclist on the road were to follow all laws to the letter starting today, it would have little effect. The people who don't take cyclists seriously use the whole red light running as an excuse for the fact that they just dont want to deal with them on the road. Of course there are a few idiot cyclists out there, but the vast majority of red light runners are not acting recklessly - in fact, I would bet that no one witnesses 99.9% of the red lights run.
