"We'd need to make sure it's high enough that wealthier people don't just decide to constantly run red lights (which is dangerous) and then pay the extra cost, but it doesn't need to be very high. Experimentation could determine the lowest level of fine that actually deters the dangerous behavior."

Or we could graduate the fine based on the violators income, like they do in Sweden, for exactly this reason. I have no problem levying multi-thousand dollar fines against multi-millionaires.
