The city I live added the right to turn right on red as I was still a pedestrian. And I clearly saw the difference in danger of crossing the streets. Now ad a driver I don’t understand why so many drivers are in such a rush to buch up at the next red light. Here at least, you are supposed to do a complete stop for 4 seconds while checking both side before going only if it is safe to do so. But I see cars go right without even slowing down that much, and they will go even if a car is incoming thinking that they will slow down to let them pass. It’s so infuriating. Impatience is so dangerous.
Jalopnik used to be great. Unfortunately, when a new company bought the site years ago, things started going downhill.
Ironically, it’s a site for car enthusiasts, and not the first place you’d expect to see an article like this. Yeah, they’re a bit more laid back and progressive than other sites covering similar topics, but still.
That’s an awful and enshitified website with ads for trucks.
But yes I agree it’s a very dangerous law

Don’t read the comments. You’d think gasoline was still leaded with the aggressive position commenters are taking.
I was there’s like seven comments and nothing so bad, then I checked the article comments and wow are you right !
