Why Are People In Boise Running Red Lights?

Surely, by now you've noticed a cosmic shift here in good ol' Boise, Idaho.

And by that we mean drivers running red lights left, right, and center as of late. Why? We have no friggin' idea.

So, I've noticed this too. Why are so many drivers now running red lights in Boise?

Look, you're not the only one who feels this way. Check out this absolutely savage roast from /r/Boise on Reddit:

seriously, the treasure valley (at least) needs to have ticketing red light traffic cameras on every single intersection. the amount of people i see blatantly run red lights is getting out of hand, do people not realize you could literally kill someone?? you know the intersections that are on timers and sometimes it feels like you’ve been sitting there for a while and the other side is green but there’s only a few cars that have come through? well twice in the last week i’ve been there and the car in front of me or next to me just rolls right through the red light.. it’s still a red light and that’s still illegal!!! has anyone else noticed this increase in behavior? i see someone run a red light literally every single day and it’s making me crazy and also scared that i’m gonna get hit by some idiot trying to beat a light.

The replies in the comments seem to echo a similar sentiment.

So, what's the deal? Why do you think drivers in the City of Trees are now taking it upon themselves to run red lights at their leisure? Chime in, and let's see if we can get to the bottom of this.
