Yeah, we have some of these signals where I live too and they mostly suck. The timers often don't reflect actual traffic conditions. The light would rather have me wait 2-3 minutes when there is very little cross traffic. No thanks, I'll go through the red light anyway.

You wish death or serious injury on somebody for being a "repeat offender" blowing a red light? You wish to expand that suffering to the conscience of the driver who collided with them? You sound like a wonderfully friendly and reasonable person.
