Even intersections where Right on Red is banned per the sign, drivers don't care. We need to #BanRightOnRed in Boston and #AutomateSafeStreetsMass statewide
Drivers will do whatever they want when there are no consequences and don't care that they risk all of our lives

Boston needs to #BanRightOnRed like Cambridge did. It's a terrible idea in a busy city
I did not know right-on-red was 1970s invention!
Why tf does North America allow right turns on red? Was this ever a good idea? So proud of @ardenenglish.bsky.social for his first collaboration with the CBC!

Aside from the obvious move to #BanRightOnRed, @mayorwu.boston.gov and Boston City Council need to implement @strongtowns.org "Crash Analysis Studio" method to PREVENT future crashes @ruthzee.bsky.social @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social

Glad there's data being collected on what we felt was clear. Austin also needs to #banrightonred
New report concludes that Right-on Red is deadly:
ROR "is generally unsafe for pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers."
"Right-turn collisions at signalized intersections were responsible for over 39k collisions and 217 fatalities between 2011–2022 in California."

Was driving over to Brookline today and crossing the SW Corridor Park at Heath Street and saw emergency vehicles and a biker. He was standing so not sure if there was a collision or not
On the way home I saw a pickup driver blow the light at the same "no turn on red" intersection #BanRightOnRed

If Boston is serious about reducing and eliminating traffic deaths, ending right on red in the city, as NYC and Cambridge have done, is a no brainer #VisionZeroBoston #BanRightOnRed @ruthzee.bsky.social @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social @ben4district6.bsky.social
Right on red was only introduced during the 1970s OPEC crisis as a fuel-saving measure. Turns out it doesn't save fuel, and instead is SUPER dangerous for cyclists and pedestrians! We should get rid of it everywhere!

Right turns on red puts pedestrians at risk, Mineta study says
A 1970s-era federal law requires states to allow right turns on red lights. Mineta Transportation Institute researchers say it’s time to change that.

What if, instead of right on red, one could only turn on a green arrow (where warranted)? It would take the guessing out of the game for drivers and make it safe for everyone. This one is in Hull. #BanRightOnRed

Of course automated enforcement would be the only thing that would actually enforce drivers breaking the law #AutomateSafeStreetsMass

Boston ban right on red already. You're either a city for people or a city for cars #BanRightOnRed
“It’s every light & every corner & every time a car almost turns into you — it’s really scary & it’s just time to consider something a little bit radical to save people from getting hurt … It shouldn’t take another fatality to motivate change.”
It’s not radical at all. It’s actually common sense.

Cambridge already did!
Cambridge already did!
We need to ban right turns on red (in cities) bc their allowance is both dangerous AND makes drivers extra impatient & aggressive.
This morning @nissamitchell.com & I were biking home & stopped at 🔴 at 34th/Lyndale.
A driver pulled up behind as the light was about to change to green.

No vehicle should be moving through an intersection when pedestrians are crossing.
