was using a crosswalk today and someone was waiting to turn right on red ahead of me, I had a feeling they might not be looking for people so I stopped before crossing in front of them right as they peeled around the corner and were super surprised to see me standing two feet from their window as they looked left at the last second. too tired to even get angry anymore.

There's a proposal to ban rights on red in Atlanta. I hope it passes.

Good luck and I hope you get your way but I’ve been to Atlanta a few times and it’s the most car brained city in this country as far as I can tell, even more car brained than LA which honestly doesn’t seem possible, so I’m not holding my breath

Honestly in this society you might as well keep them legal, because drivers will constantly ignore them and police will never do anything about it, and it might give pedestrians the false impression that it's safe to cross the street. There's a no turn on red intersection near me that I get honked at basically every time I stop for the crime of following the traffic laws.

Atlanta's car problems arguably come mostly from the sprawling metro area. The city itself is at least making some progress. There's a new ebike rebate program. They banned drive-throughs and gas stations near the beltline. Denser housing is being built. gently caress the metro.

This is solvable if you put a right turn arrow on every light when the right of way is clear, but Rochallor posted:Honestly in this society you might as well keep them legal, because drivers will constantly ignore them and police will never do anything about it, and it might give pedestrians the false impression that it's safe to cross the street. This will happen instead.

This is very much my experience in Portland, which ostensibly is one of the less car brained cities in the beautiful USA I won’t cross at an intersection even with a signal unless I can make eye contact with the car that’s stopped in the middle of the crosswalk. I end up waiting a lot Fitzy Fitz posted:Atlanta's car problems arguably come mostly from the sprawling metro area. The city itself is at least making some progress.

Yeah Atlanta proper seems to be trying but god the eternal sprawl and freeways carrying millions of people in from the suburbs to drive in circles it seems like a guy with a slashed femoral artery bleeding out and being very concerned about his blood pressure

Seattle is slowly adding "no turn on red" signage to major intersections around town but it's slow going. I've noticed that some folks (seemingly rideshare drivers???) just don't make right on red and will sit there until a green. can't explain it but I'll take it.

right on reds are horrible, because there is always a huge pickup truck in the left lane, so you can't see left cross-traffic, and then the people behind you start honking because you have the gall to be patient for the green and refuse to drive into the crosswalk to be able to see.

The crosswalk by my house had another serious accident. There's a slight curve in the road and people who are staring at their phones will blow through the crosswalk, hop the curb, and either smash into a tree or utility pole. There had been a bike share station but that got obliterated twice before they permanently removed it. It can't be overstated how oblivious you have to be to get in an accident here, on a 30mph road with the slightest of curves next to a crosswalk with two flashing yellow signs I cross this crosswalk every day when I go on a run so now I get to go yell at city council until they put in speed bumps, but in the meantime I've progressed from being angry at this happening to hoping the driver had the courtesy to die in the accident

man ubers drive like loving morons around here. They park in the fuckin bike lane, run red lights, sit in crosswalks. legit saw one drive through a red light last week. Not like trying to beat the light or anything, we were all stopped and he just drove around us like we were all stupid. light didn't turn green for another 15 seconds.
