Agreed that most red light running is “around the edges” so to speak — very few people will just simply blow through a solid red without any mitigation of any kind.
Someone turning left from King into the alley (which is not a permitted turn) could end up in that position if their vehicle was dragged a significant distance.
I do agree that it'd be surprising to see a vehicle dragged that far, it's not that an LRV doesn't have the momentum to do it, but I'd expect it to be pushed away rather than dragged.
But maybe I'm wrong. Honestly, nothing surprises me anymore...a driver blowing through a red light without even glancing for a train...sure. Totally on brand.
Yes, sorry, I’m not sure what I was thinking. A northbound vehicle turning left wouldn’t (probably, I think) end up like that, but southbound or even eastbound might.
