Reply to comment by bananasorcerer in Cambridge City Council to consider citywide ban on ‘turning on red’ by superfakesuperfake

What? If it's a side street and there's no one else anywhere at the intersection, how is it “not safe for anyone”?

I shouldn’t have to worry about getting plastered if the driver at the stop looks, doesn’t see me or notice me, sees no cars, and guns it to get to their destination a tiny bit faster. That’s just me though.

You trust drivers to always obey “no turn on red” signs but not to check before they turn?

Pedestrians and drivers still need to look, if right on red is allowed or not.

Please. My whole family was almost run over by a guy who turned right on red into us after coming to a stop, after we were already in a crosswalk. Car drivers are fundamentally incapable of safely coexisting with the city.
