“States consider ending right on red to address rising pedestrian deaths”

I can see right-wingers having more seizure-tantrums already

@thomasfuchs I was in NYC years ago and people just drove straight at us, even though the pedestrian light was green. We were shouted at too.

In GB red means red, and I think most of Europe too.

@thomasfuchs @francis Germany has something similar but it's not the default. Basically on some crossings there's a sign with a green right arrow on black ground that acts like a green traffic light combined with a give way / yield sign. You're allowed to turn right on red but have to give way to any other traffic you're crossing, including pedestrians. When combined with a pedestrian crossing there is also usually a flashing light indicating when the pedestrian traffic light is green (or only just turned red).
