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

A number of community members spoke in favour of banning right turn on red and against #OttCity staff’s problematic report suggesting RTOR is somehow *safer* for pedestrians.

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...
TL;DR: Ban Right Turns on Red so fewer people get squashed or almost squashed.

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
