Reply to comment by ThePremiumOrange in Cambridge City Council to consider citywide ban on ‘turning on red’ by superfakesuperfake
There are a large number of drivers who would never blatantly run a red light, but who routinely fail to yield to pedestrians. Drivers legally have to stop for pedestrians at all crosswalks, but how often does that happen? Studies show less than half the time.
Banning right on red turns "failing to yield" into "running a red light". That's why it makes people safer.

Don’t just say “studies” without citing them.

No problem, I was just trying for brevity, but are you really disputing that cars fail to yield to pedestrians at crosswalks? Have you been outside?
