Also, side note, it’s not clear to me that regular intersection traffic lights control separated right turn lanes. If the light controls it, what is the yield sign for? Without the island it would go without saying that turning traffic must yield to pedestrians. So really the no-right-turn sign should be considered moot, as there is no traffic light controlling the right turn lane...

What if one's position is that it probably shouldn't be allowed anywhere?

The challenge here is it isn't actually a right on red, or, specifically, there is no conflicting traffic to even look for.

This intersection could be designed far far better....the right turn lane should have a separate light simply to separate the flow of trail traffic, from the right turning vehicles.  That would eliminate the congestion, and make it safer for trail users.
