Sure but if ”just the cost of doing business" becomes their official policy on this variety of traffic incident, they could end up paying $1000 a dozen times a day. That ads up pretty quickly.

Weigh that against how much it costs to develop, test, and deploy a fix. If you get fines like that 10 times every day, you could have spent all that money on developer wages and the problem would have been fixed in a month or two. If it’s only one ticket a month, it’s cheaper to leave it as it is.
