If they are, then the c**p dissemination of information is largely to blame. I'm certain that no GA pilot would knowingly fly through a TRA, bearing in mind the consequences.
There is a FREEPHONE number for Reds TRAs. How much simpler could it be to dial it before you fly, listen, note any TRAs in the area of intended flight and then make sure you keep clear of them ??

I disagree with your assertion that the dissemination is to blame. I believe it lies fairly and squarely with the pilots and poor flight planning, in these specific instances. A point of view also shared by the judge in a recent well publicised prosecution.

How did pilots ever cope with getting NOTAMs before the advent of telephone and internet based facilities ??
