Last I knew, red lights only meant "SPEED UP" after you crossed into California. However, the trend has seemed to move up north to our lovely city of Eugene. 
My son started preschool last fall, which has me traveling on roads that I previously didn't frequent as much. My route is pretty straightforward, travel up River Road/Chambers to 19th, and back. I'm always seeing 1, 2 or sometimes even 3 or more cars running the red light at 6th & Chambers on my way to school.
However, that isn't the worst location. For me, the worst is as I head North on Chambers @ 7th street. I always see at least 1 vehicle running the red light here. Frequently (and, in my opinion, the worst offenders) there are larger trucks hauling a trailer or two. I've had at least 3 occasions where I was sitting first at the light, in the right lane, started out at a green light, and had to SLAM on my breaks to avoid hitting a car that decided the red light didn't apply to him/her (I couldn't see what the traffic was doing because of a large vehicle in the left hand lane - I have now stated to let the left lane go first).
I would like to see the community made aware of these dangerous drivers (TAKE THEIR PICTURES AS THEY RUN THE LIGHT AND SHOW IT ON THE NEWS - Please!). If enough awareness is brought to this problem area, then we can avoid a fatal, and completely unnecessary, crash. If the community is aware, then the cops will start staging stings in the area more frequently (heck - these tickets should pay for the officers to sit there!). And, if it continues to be such a problem area, maybe they can add a warning light 20 feet back...? Who knows... It just takes making the community aware...
