Almost every major city in the United States generally allows drivers to turn right at red lights, but that could change.
If you watch films, there’s a misconception that high-risk, dare-devil police chases are vital for catching bad guys, and movies rarely portray dire consequences for officers or bystanders. But statistics suggest otherwise.
"Drivers should not have the option to decide for themselves when they think it’s safe," said Langerman, 26. "People are busy. People are distracted." "It's an example of bad policy," said Bill Schultheiss, director of engineering at Toole Design Group, which consults with public transportation agencies. "It made sense in the context of the gas crisis, but it was way oversold on what it would achieve. It's a mandate that doesn't consider the full consequences."
Critics argue that banning right on red will not only inconvenience motorists but also slow down commuter buses and deliveries. The United Parcel Service hasn’t taken an official position on right on red but has long directed its drivers to avoid left turns whenever possible, viewing them as inefficient.
According to a national report by the Governors Highway Safety Association, more than 7,500 people walking were struck and killed by automobiles in 2022, the highest number since 1981. The spike, which— not just those involving right turns on red, was attributed in part to an increase in larger vehicles such as SUVs and pickup trucks on the road.
