A city councillor suggests the City of Ottawa needs to consider banning right hand turns on red lights in the downtown core after a cyclist was struck by a vehicle.
Yeah, honestly I am not really opposed to this idea. In a busy environment like downtown having less things to focus on while you’re driving makes it so much safer for everyone.
When I lived in Spain you weren’t allowed to turn right on red and most turns were controlled with a light within cities. Made driving so much easier and less stressful since I usually only had to focus on looking in one direction when I was turning.
It’s like that in Montreal too. You aren’t allowed to turn right on red on the entire island. Driving sucks there without having to focus on the entire intersection at once, so it’s kind of nice to just have to wait your turn.
