Veras!

Maybe if every right turn on red involved pedestrians crossing then perhaps the congestion would be the same regardless of what enforcemment mechanism used, but that premise is pretty clearly false. More broadly, there are numerous street designs within and immediately adjacent to cambridge that require drivers to use careful judgement, often while being in motion, so why would we deprive drivers the ability to use that discretion here?

Maybe a minority view, but I disagree with this idea. It will only contribute to more congestion on already crowded roads. The problem here is not the lights, its lack of enforcement of drivers cutting off pedestrians.
