Oh wow, that would never happen here, if it was a fast road there would 
definitely be a load of accidents because the people on green would just go 
without looking left&right very far, some would probably see you and drive 
out anyway forcing you to do an emergency stop and crash into them. 
Insurance would certainly blame the person for red light jumping no matter 
what happened.

On a slower road the cars on green would just force their way over and force 
the red-light runners to stop (this happens sometimes when the exit is 
blocked and people get stuck in the middle and then try to go when it frees 
up, forgetting that they don't have green anymore).

It seems to just stop people red-light running at certain junctions, and 
they can tell which ones they need to stop at before they get to there.  If 
they hid them somehow you'd never know which ones had cameras so you'd have 
to stop at all of them.  The police could just announce "we've fitted red 
light cameras under-cover to around 10% of intersections on a rotating 
basis".

We don't usually have shoulders on regular roads, if there's space for a 
shoulder it will be a proper lane.
