NYC outlaws rights on red unless otherwise posted and it makes life as a pedestrian so much better.
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoIt's a shame that NYC drivers never seem to follow this. I see even commercial vehicles like trucks regularly turn on red. Although, I suppose the situation would be even worse if it wasn't outlawed...
- mdhen 8y agoThis isn't true. I don't think I've ever seen anyone try a right on red in Manhattan and while I'm sure it happens occasionally in the boroughs I really don't ever see it. Not sure what you're talking about
- Wowfunhappy 8y agoHonestly not sure what to say, I see it constantly in Manhattan, as a pedestrian.
- RandallBrown 8y agoNeither pedestrians nor drivers follow traffic laws in NYC. "Go when you can, don't hit anyone" seems to be the only "rule" anyone follows. I'm continuously surprised at how well it works. In a year of walking around midtown, I've only seen one person hit by a car and it was very much the pedestrians fault fault. They walked out from behind a hot dog stand into the street, not at a crosswalk.
