[quote=Anonymous]"Right turn on red" was always designed for suburbs and rural roads. The law started in the 70s to attempt to conserve fuel during a shortage, and it failed to serve that purpose anyway. It has always been the case that you were not allowed to turn on red when pedestrians are present; you must yield to pedestrians. No one follows that part of the law in city driving, and if they did, no one would be turning on red much anyway because pedestrians are almost always present, so it is easier just to outlaw it and eliminate the constant mistakes people make. The current municipal regulation has so many exceptions and restrictions on turning on red, it is generally outlawed anyway (if you can understand and are following the law).[/quote]
