The "no turn on red" rule at this intersection contributes to that problem as well. I find that any time a light cycle is so short that people have to wait for more than one cycle to make it through, the incidents of red light running increase. (This is also true eastbound on Central at Park and Santa Clara and Park, although the problem there is the lack of a separate left-turn lane.)

But, see that nursing home that you pan to, with the blue toof . It has its own light, that can go green between the Park St. light going red and the Blanding light going green. I don't know if it's activated by an induction loop. I actually have never noticed that occurring, maybe because I always approach Park St. from the the other side.
