Yeah, OK. So how do you judge if you can or can't see the corner safely? Is that your own judgment? Or does every red light have a sign saying you can or cannot make a right? Genuinely curious.
I agree you can safely make a right turn on a red light depending on the local situation, it just sounds like it would be filled with exceptions for safety reasons. Hence the "don't cross a red light ever" feels much simpler and safer?
There is a sign that says “no right on red” when you aren’t allowed to do it. It really isn’t very complicated.
There are even turns that will have a special cut through at the corner on the right side to make it easier to do, especially in situations where a large number of cars will be wanting to turn right.
I know it sounds potentially dangerous when described, but it really is a very simple driving maneuver to accomplish in practice.
Fair enough :)
