ION - Waterloo Region's Light Rail Transit

There's a difference in knowingly breaking the law as at Highland Hills Mall and inadvertently doing so at Caroline & Erb because the signage is so poor. 
Why don't they put up a camera at HH Mall and snap all the violaters and ticket them?

I want to know what the effect would be if the signal only went green for buses. Right now I think it is marked as being a transit signal (and there is a pair of them, because we know lights are so unreliable that it just wouldn’t work to have single signals…), but I think it turns green on every cycle, not just when a bus arrives. In other words, would people run a red to take the turn? And now thinking about the legal authorization for the cameras, I know we have red light cameras, so it should be possible to use them there, whether or not using cameras to enforce restricted lanes would be permitted.
