First Alert 4: Video showing line of cars running red light downtown shows need for more traffic enforcement, aldermen say

A video showing multiple cars running a red light in downtown St. Louis has prompted calls for increased traffic enforcement. Alderwoman Cara Spencer emphasized the need for a comprehensive plan to address traffic violations and enhance public safety in the area. “We’re absolutely not doing enough. We have a pedestrian fatality rate three times the national average. We have lost 11 pedestrians just this year and it is only April,” says Spencer .”When you get pulled over for recklessly driving, [I propose we] put a boot on your car to stop the car from continuing to drive recklessly and endangering lives.”
