iirc most states(?) allow a right turn on a red light as it doesn't involve disturbing the flow of traffic too much
i still think it's bad to be clear, but i think that's the reasoning
The original reasoning was that letting people turn right on red saved the gas they would have burned sitting idle at the red light, it was legalized in the US during the 70s oil crisis. That reasoning is obviously nonsense.
Every state allows it I think. There's a view cities that don't allow it or are outlawing it. And there's always random intersections that don't allow it.

ah, fair enough
Sounds like a crash waiting to happen
It is, because they stare left watching the oncoming traffic while turning right so they're not actually looking where they're going.
