I'd start by making it uniformly enforced, and with no "cliff" where you can go from being unticketed to owing thousands through a calibration change.

In this case, change the ticketing model to have a graduated scale so e.g. going 1mph through a stop sign is $1, going 2 is $3, going 10mph is $100. Ideally, enforce it through technology at all stops. And then anyone who accrues more than say $10 in fines in a month has to pay it, and everyone can see where they are towards that.

And then to make it properly "fair" make it equitable, e.g. ticket costs indexed against your personal income rather than a flat rate.
