Right on red is something that should never be allowed anywhere where it's even possible for there to be pedestrians. Such a prime example of making life extremely dangerous for peds in the name of slight convenience for drivers

Right on red started in the 70s during a gas crisis - allegedly to keep from people burning extra gas while waiting for lights. It was supposed to be a full stop with no traffic or pedestrians in sight, but you know how that went. It should have been abolished ago because people behave like idiots.

Technically there can be pedestrians anywhere, even in the middle of the highway. I think there should be no right on red in areas beyond a certain density, which includes jc. It should be allowed elsewhere.
