#OttCity staff have claimed that permitting drivers to turn right on red is actually safer for pedestrians.
But is this true?

Some research support for limiting right turns on red, at least in urbanized environments with bike/pedestrian traffic. #RTOR www.smartcitiesdive.com/news/right-t...

Sadly, we follow #RTOR in Canada too (except the island of Montreal). It's got to go if we really want a world where people want to bike, walk, and transit more.
Got a minute to talk about one of the dumbest things about traffic in the US? That's right, I'm talking about how we think it's a good idea to let drivers turn right even if their traffic light is red. #RTOR is a wrongheaded idea that's been proven to make streets more dangerous for everyone. 🧵
Right-turn-on-red is a privilege that only some of the world enjoys, and it seems a lot of drivers are determined to have us lose. #RTOR
