Restricting Right Turns on Red

[ijmorlan]

To do it (or anything region wide) rather than on a case by case basis would be foolish. I certainly hope it's not the case.

Not sure what the discussion and status  of this issue is but any change such as no right turn Region wide would require provincial approval. IMO this would not be approved.

I don’t see why the Region couldn’t make and sign every single signalized intersection as “no right on red”.

That being said, I think the decision should be made case by case. There are many intersections where it’s hard to see a problem with it. If there is good visibility aided by the geometry of the intersection I don’t see why turning right on a red after checking for pedestrians on the intersecting street is inherently any more problematic than turning right on a green after checking for pedestrians on the initial street.
