oh dont be such a boy scout. people make illegal u-turns, right turns from center lanes all the time within reason. At 10a, i agree, follow the signs, but at the ass crack of pre-dawn, poppin a right on red isnt gonna hurt anyone. Smart drivers like myself obviously arent gonna pull out in front of Safeway tractor trailer. Ive made the R turn atleast 2x in 6mos.
and as for the right lane turn:
You go with the flow of traffic and slow down at the bottom of the hill and pop your right. No one is going to merge into your lane from the middle of the intersection anyway. They would be in your lane much after they pass you at said speed while your still getting up to speed. However there are some donks who sit and sit and forget that they can turn on red. They get the horn!....As well as those who sit and wait for that ONE car traveling in the far LEFT lane to pass them..."stop being a pussy and drive I yell."
All of this going on between 515-6a M-F
What some areas need is a goddamn commonsense Left on red lights. That would be fun!
