“Vision Zero” — eliminate all pedestrian deaths
“Net Zero” — eliminate carbon emissions

Right turn on red was pushed for years as a way to save fuel, then it morphed into a way to reduce carbon emissions, the most sacrosanct thing to libs.

Who wins? A few pesky pedestrians killed at intersections? Or greeniacs in their never-ending quest to end “global warming,” er, “climate change”?

If everyone WOULD stop on red and LOOK before turning right, there wouldn’t be a need to go back to stopping until green.

I’ve had to slam on the brakes (in both personal vehicles and the big rig) to avoid a collision with someone turning right on red without stopping, and apparently not looking.
