Default Reduce Traffic - Turn left on a RED

"Rajesh Kakad \(BT\)" wrote in message ...
Would it not be easier to have the same rule as in the USA, where they can
turn right on a red signal?

So we should be able to turn LEFT at a RED light.

Of course the pedestrians and other cars on the green, have priority.

This would save time, reduce pollution (whilst waiting) and get traffic
moving, instead of sitting idle.

What does London say ?


In New York it does NOT work well. The number of times I and other
people were nearly run over crossing the road by cars turning on a red
light was great. Im sure if in London it was introduced it would be
another nail in the coffin for the most effective form of public
transport, walking.
