It's time to increase fines from $85 to $500 for blocking the box on any and all intersections. Doing so would make it's safer for everyone including pedestrians.

And make fine based on income, not just static sum. Works well in Finland.

This would just encourage cops to target people they perceive as wealthy, and not bother with people who look poor
