Some drivers and other road users are running Sea Road's temporary red traffic light despite the danger it poses to other drivers, riders, and pedestrians.

According to Dwayne Hards, #LCN's founder, 'many drivers, cyclists, and motorbikes/mopeds were running the temporary red traffic light'.

Passing the white stop line at a red light is illegal and the penalty for doing so is usually a £100 fine with 3 penalty points or prosecution. Running a red light can also be, in some cases, considered as driving without due care and attention or dangerous driving.

Running a red traffic light poses a high risk of a collision with other vehicles, cyclists, or people because according to https://www.iihs.org/topics/red-light-running, in 2019, 846 people were killed in crashes that involved red light running.
