HARRISBURG, Pa. -- A new law which allows drivers to go through some red lights went into effect across Pennsylvania on Sunday. Act 101, more commonly known as the "Ride on Red" law, gives anyone on the road the option to go through red lights as long as they use common sense and caution. Essentially, if a stop light is unresponsive, and no one is coming the other way, the new law, sponsored by Rep. Stephen Bloom (R-Cumberland), states that someone can legally drive through the intersection.

Because encouraging people to run red lights is so much better than fixing the lights so that they work properly.

You probably hit the nail squarely on the head. Here, they've implemented flashing yellow arrows in some left turn lanes that gives drives permission to turn left if there is no oncoming traffic. It seems to be working pretty well, so far.
