Restricting Right Turns on Red

[dtkvictim]

When did turning at a red when there are no pedestrians or other traffic problems...become a problem? Or are we just trying to make it one because kAAArrrRRrzz!!!!?

You've got it backwards - it's a problem because of the huge number of people turning right on red as though there are no pedestrians, when there are.

Even taking pedestrians out of the equation, right on red also causes a signification portion of collisions between motor vehicles.

It's banned in most of the developed world for a reason, including in the many places you frequently tout at being so much better than here.
