Ignoring traffic rules okay for some?

I have recently had occasion on a few mornings to spend a few hours on the veranda of a restaurant overlooking the circle at Ashton College.
It is absolutely amazing to witness how many drivers totally ignore the two prominent stop signs and calming humps when approaching the circle from the direction of the traffic lights.
I estimate that 95+% of drivers do not stop. Many slow down to negotiate the humps whilst a number just speed through (Not their own vehicles that they abuse them like this?).
From observations a large percentage of offenders are white and again a large percentage of these are white females. These are the same people who constantly bemoan the fact that our taxi drivers are a law unto themselves who routinely ignore the rules of the road. How hypocritical!
Of further concern is that many of these vehicles are transporting young kids, many of whom are not wearing safety belts. That said many of the vehicles turn left up towards the hospital and also continue straight into the Seaward Estate.
As I understand it , the fine is R500 a wheel for crossing a white stop line. The local Traffic Dept could make a killing by monitoring this particular stop sign in that 95% of drivers would get the maximum fine of R2000 for all four wheels.
Unfortunately it will probably require a serious accident with possible loss of life to make these drivers take stock of their wanton disregard for the rules of the road and stop at the stop signs.
