>>I was told that in some city, I forget where, they paint a square in street corners and if you stop in the square on the red light you are fined. Great idea, if true. Can anyone confirm the story?

The goal is not to fine, but to make people obey the rules of the road.

In my city all too often cars enter an intersection even though traffic on the other side is backed up. When the light changes to red they are caught in the middle, blocking cars that come in the transversal direction from crossing, causing gridlock.

A white box painted in the intersection would provide a yardstick by which to measure if a car is blocking it as well as a reminder.
