It’s time to ban ‘right-on-red’. “Right turns on red lights are dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists, and yet they’re still widely allowed across the U.S.”

Our city even allows left-on-red (at the light) if the road you turn on is one-way. But since even most cops don't know about it, most rarely risk it.
I drove a school bus last year and right-on-red was forbidden. The habit has stuck with me.
