New research by the Times shows that thousands of fatal crashes involving pedestrians could have been avoided with lower hood heights and improved visibility.
Tall hoods, poor intersection designs inhibiting sidewalk visibility, and idiots assuming “right on red” means they can blast through the turn without needing to check.
That’s so bizarre to me. Even on green you sometimes have to stop if the pedestrians have green too. And right on red still confuses me. Why not have a dedicated green arrow light?
You are supposed to come to a stop, yield for any cross traffic that has the right of way, then you can turn right when it’s clear.
A green arrow light wouldn’t solve the problem because right on red is supposed to allow people to merge with the flow of traffic, and a green arrow would require there to be no traffic.
