Right turn on red really doesn't belong anywhere where people could be on the street. Drivers turning red will often pull forward into the crosswalk and there may be a walk signal.
- Tabular-Iceberg 4y agoHow is that any different from a right turn on green where there may be a walk signal?
- zip1234 4y agoIn a right turn on green scenario, the driver mainly needs to be looking for pedestrians crossing and they will be crossing a different direction. In a right turn on red, their primary focus is on cars, limiting their attention on pedestrians. It also encourages creeping out into the crosswalk, blocking people from crossing on a signal.
- Tabular-Iceberg 4y agoThat makes sense. Being European I’m often annoyed at not being allowed to turn right on red. Allowing it at non-pedestrian intersections would perhaps be a fair compromise.
- chrisseaton 4y agoBlows my mind you’d both tell a pedestrian to cross and also allow a car to drive through at the same time.
- legalcorrection 4y agoSo you'd have every intersection come to a complete stop in all directions for pedestrian crossings? New York would come to a complete standstill.
