REVIEW OF RIGHT TURN ON RED AFTER STOP

Right turn on red after stop (RTORAS) is a nationwide reality because traffic laws introduced throughout the U. S. during the 1970s (and passed in every state without exception), now enable motorists to turn right on steady red at signalized intersections. Highly convenient and popular with the motoring public, this practice is often credited with increasing intersection capacities and saves time and energy through reduced delays. However, concern still persists that nationwide adoption of RTORAS laws may have contributed significantly to crashes involving bicyclists and pedestrians at signalized intersections.
