People are also running it because right turn on red arrow IS legal in many states as long as there's no sign there. Now this intersection has a sign, but there's others that don't have a clear sign and the differences between states causes confusion.
@@traffic.engineer That is still millions of people. California is one of those 15 states. The whole thing is stupid. A steady red arrow (with no turn on red sign nearby) is basically the same as a flashing red arrow in many states.
The only time it would be okay to to turn right on a red arrow would be an intersection that has a significantly permitting you to turn right on a red arrow. Similar to New York where you can only turn right on red when there was a sign that would specifically permit you to do so
That is only law in 5 states. NY prohibits right turn on red arrow all the time, and no sign can override that. NYC prohibits right turn on red ball, unless a sign specifically permits it.
South bound Vasquez & E 46th Ave. small sign states NO TURN OM RED ARROW, but I see so many people doing so anyway. I've been honked at aggressively for not turning on the red.
One other thing: some people that still has gasoline vehicles cut MPG considerably. I have an electric vehicle that really has no difference on how long you stop.
You go on red because you yield on a right turn when the traffic is clear (off-peak hours), and when there are no pedestrians present. That intersection on Bayaud and CO Blvd also has another road for residents to pull out from, you don't want to congest that road during off-peak hours. You can also turn right on the Bayaud when no pedestrians, or traffic are present. Many people will never go on a red light, but there are circumstances where it's safe, and unnecessary to idle on a red light in the city where increased traffic congestion is a problem. Per Climate Change, idling cars on a stop light damages the environment, and adds CO2 into the atmosphere. For double lane One-Way traffic lights that have no intersection 13th Ave, and 14th Ave, you pass through on a red light when there are no pedestrians, and when it's off-peak hours. If you are at a 4 Way-intersection, and you are suffering an emergency (such as getting shot), with flashers on, you yield to the red light as a 4 way Stop sign, and continue to the hospital. If you are in a double lane One-way streets (such as Monaco & 13th)(York & 7th St), and when there's an ambulance siren blaring. With 'flashers on' you go on the red light when clear, pull off to the side of the road until other vehicles can create space to allow other cars, and ambulance to pass through. When there are construction present at a T-intersection, and one intersection is blocked off to traffic, and there's a traffic light present. You go on the red when traffic is clear, and when no pedestrians are present. if you commute in the city, you watch both ways on a red light because cyclists, scooters sometimes use both lanes to adjust to traffic.

It is legal in the majority of states. Only 15 states prohibit right turn on red arrow.

@@KB-sv7fm Flashing red is essentially a stop sign in all 50 states. Right turn on red arrow is permitted in 35 states, prohibitted in 15 plus DC.
@@traffic.engineer That’s my point. It should be the same in all 50 states. I think 15 states got it right….

maybe if they weren't so bad at driving they'd not have to make these bad decisions on lights to attempt to fix stupid.
In the USA, some states prohibit turns on a red arrow, even right turns.
Only 15 states prohibit. The rest permit it.
District of Columbia is also included in this prohibition.
Ive seen these signs in Toronto mostly use on Pedestrian crossings
I still wonder why lights change at an intersection when noone is on the opposite side trying to turn.

There a lot of things people are suppose to do and don’t do them!
On the other hand, there a lot of things people are suppose to not do and do them!
So it all balances out in the end.

Maybe we should have multilingual signage
It's either because people don't know how to follow the rules or simply don't care about following rules.

I don't know the difference between Deez ones and Doze ones ! 😂🎉
You are only supposed to turn on a red arrow IF IT IS FLASHING.
Only in 15 states.
@@traffic.engineer It’s stupid not to have the same rule in all 50 states.
That is a dumb desing. Could it be sensored in the non busy hours.
Yes. That is how it is designed.
Every state bordering Colorado permits right turn on red arrow.
EXCEPT Utah.
that's a ticket trap
We dont need mothering. We know when we can go.
Ask yo mama when you can Go 😂
