People don’t pay attention at crossings where you’re not allowed to make a right on red, either. The problem isn’t the rule; it’s people not actually looking where they are moving.
Drivers don’t even stop until they’ve completely crossed the crosswalk. Banning right on red only works if steel barriers emerge from the ground to protect crossers because that will actually make cars stop at the stop line.

Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Banning right-on-red gets us another step closer to dethroning cars as default transportation.
We added bike lanes here and wherever the lanes are we added no rights on red. There’s a light for the bike lane, and prominent no right on red signs.
People still do it.

How have I never read “colonic” when seeing their name before. That ball instead of the O must’ve thrown me off.
