I actually think based on what I've read about traffic laws (which is more than average) you're more right than wrong, it's just a spectrum of behavior based on complex cultural factors, of which state enforcement is only one

It's not saying that if you abandoned enforcement or abolished the law nothing would change But under the status quo if stopping at red lights were an actual cost-benefit calculation of whether you'd get a ticket then far fewer people would do it
