I'd be happy if people even stopped at STOP signs - the number of idiots who think the law doesn't apply to them at the STOP signs around our way is stunning. A kid was killed a year or so back because some teenager blew through the intersection without checking.

As for right-on-red, I think (as a Brit) it's awesome, but I don't think I've ever seen a single person come to a complete stop before going right, in the 20 years I've lived here. At best, it's slow-down-while-I-check.




Also, right on red means those drivers are so preoccupied with looking left to see if traffic is clear they never even glance to their right until after they have completed their turn and are accelerating. Non-automobile users beware.
