As I never tire of reminding people, the two plausible alternatives to automated traffic enforcement are that we either rely on the discretion of individual police officers or we simply don't enforce traffic laws at all. We have been trying both alternatives now and they are failing us.
See also: debates about speed cameras.
There's a problematic reflex among some progressive reformers to move from "conventional criminal legal responses are bad" to something too close to "accountability in general is bad."
I think (as Jamelle argues here) it's rooted in not thinking abt victims.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!

City leaders tell us safety takes years of studies and budget meetings. Yet when a resident spends $50 on paint to fix it themselves, the police response is instant. Funny how the bureaucracy suddenly disappears when it's time to punish someone.
Activist arrested for vandalism after painting Los Angeles crosswalk deemed unsafe
Frustrated by the city’s slow progress in painting crosswalks at intersections they believe are unsafe, activists in Los Angeles have been picking up paint rollers and doing it themselves.

Yes, parking is harder when it snows. NOT THE SAME as pedestrians trying to not fall on icy sidewalks!

If you want to know who your city is actually built for, wait for it to snow. The machines get a heated red carpet. The humans get a frozen obstacle course.
This was a choice, not by the person walking but by the decision makers who refuse to prioritize them.
