Infrastructure doesn't make people run red lights. Frustration with infrastructure maybe, but how someone responds to stimuli is the definition of human behavior. Inserting discomfort to make unwanted behaviors less efficient is exactly how you change behavior. I'm all for roundabouts though or teleportation.

yep it's baked in. driving in cities sucks, especially new haven with the freeway exits leading to pedestrian lanes or carriageways from 1650

You literally just described "traffic calming" infrastructure design.

which for what it's worth, new haven is doing with it's new intersection and road improvements throughout the city.
