    it's America, everything is wrong.

    Right on red keeps traffic moving, but hte traffic is only there because a giant century long conspiracy against public transit, bikes, and pedestrians. But Idk what would even happen without right on red, because it'd fuck with the whole rest of an already not well built traffic system that was shoved in to cities it has no place being.

      Right on red keeps traffic moving,

      Debatable in a lot of cases because the underlying presumption is it allows cars to slip in when nobody else is inconvenienced (as that would be illegal), which is the sort of thought that underlies a lot of especially car brained traffic planning and also has 0 answer as to why the outcome of that design fails constantly everywhere

        Strong agree. I perceive it as allowing traffic to keep moving despite poorly timed lights but I can acknowledge that my perception is not data or evidence!

      Both making driving worse and making bike and transit better are good to do people should be actively punished for driving

        Both are wrong. We must unmake this wretched reality and construct a new, glorious paradigm built around moving walkways that go very, very fast.
