    Those people are driving improperly. You’re supposed to only proceed through the intersection if it’s clear, both of oncoming traffic and of traffic that might cause you to block the intersection.

        I think the point is that trying to ban right on red will change nothing because they will still just drive incorrectly turning right even if they shouldn’t they already weren’t supposed to be turning

            Maybe in some places but definitely not in seattle. I see people turn red at intersections very clearly marked no turn on red all the time

              I live in Seattle. That’s what I’m referring to. Most people do adhere to it, but it’s not that uncommon for people to violate it.

          The ban is mostly followed in NYC, at least in Manhattan where I lived for 6 years.

        Self-centered assholes, will always be assholes. Removing a law won’t help with that. Those are the same people who thing it’s okay to drive through lane for turning right and then cut in a long line to keep going straight. Even if there was a green light law states that you should enter intersection only if there’s enough space and time to clear it. Exactly for that reason of preventing blockages.
