The mayor only addresses pedestrians and the law that prohibits them from crossing against red lights. Whether drivers obey the law that prohibits them from driving through red lights is irrelevant.

This is the cookie-cutter flaw of “equivocation.” The mayor doesn’t make this mistake because he uses the word “law” consistently throughout his argument.

This may be true, but it isn’t a flaw in the mayor’s argument. He just claims that a law is only useful if it does deter the kind of behavior it prohibits.

The mayor falsely divides the world into people who always cross against red lights and people who never cross against red lights. He doesn’t consider people who sometimes cross against red lights or how the law might affect them.

It’s true that the major never provides evidence about the danger of crossing on red or green lights, but this isn’t a flaw because his argument is only about crossing against red lights. So (E) is irrelevant.
