Forget bike light tickets. This week, the Palo Alto police are giving out $100 tickets for running red lights at a bunch of intersections, some near campus. Sounds like a good idea, but $100 might be on the low side of the curve -- in San Francisco, the violation will run you (insert Soviet Russia joke here) $400, even if it's 3 am and you're playing The Game with Branner in a rented car. Since Palo Alto understands the internet better than San Francisco, though, they probably do not allow those easily cheatable online traffic schools...
