Right on red is the default everywhere in the United States except for NYC

Funny how it’s the default except in one of the US’s most walkable cities

It's a function of density. Even if it was legal to do right on red in Manhattan, I'd never even try it, just way too many pedestrians. Other places with fewer people walking it makes far more sense. People do need to be way more attentive when they're doing it though.

Which funny enough NYC has an entire section - Broad Channel - that allowed left on red last I was out there (admittedly years ago).
