Drove my kids to the Please Touch Museum and back today. In that time I watched three different drivers each run a red light in different places.
-
We’re the second car back turning left onto Montgomery Drive off the exit from 76, SUV comes from behind in the right/straight lane, cuts us all off and turns left from that lane, directly through a red light.
-
Driving down Girard to 76, car stopped at the red light, peels out INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC to get to 76W entrance
-
Coming down Passyunk off 76, under the train tracks, waiting two back at red light, car comes speeding down left lane, slows down before just driving through red light like it was a stop sign
Is there just no traffic enforcement at all in Philly? I don’t think I’ve ever seen any in city streets. Blowing through stop signs I see all the time. “Philly Lefts” trying to time the green and effectively running the red. But these were just straight up running red lights in daytime traffic. Totally insane
