Even intersections where Right on Red is banned per the sign, drivers don't care. We need to #BanRightOnRed in Boston and #AutomateSafeStreetsMass statewide
Drivers will do whatever they want when there are no consequences and don't care that they risk all of our lives
A dark-colored pickup truck blocks a crosswalk while attempting a right turn on a red light. The driver only looks to left while ignoring potential users of the crosswalk to their right.
And not once did they ever turn their head to acknowledge anything else other than vehicles. #yeg #yegbike #banrightonred
Boston needs to #BanRightOnRed like Cambridge did. It's a terrible idea in a busy city
Boston must ban right on red to become a truly people-centered city #BanRightOnRed
Cambridge already did!
Intersection of Maisonneuve and Allumettières. The traffic light is red for people heading straight. There’s a green arrow for people turning right.
What if, instead of right on red, one could only turn on a green arrow (where warranted)? It would take the guessing out of the game for drivers and make it safe for everyone. This one is in Hull. #BanRightOnRed
I just checked. There's lights there. If you can't see, wait until its green! #BanRightOnRed
@clrhenrysantana.bsky.social crashqes in Boston are taking too many lives and remain a threat to public safety
@bikeboston.bsky.social has 3 great policy proposals to improve safety including #BanRightOnRed @ruthzee.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social @ben4district6.bsky.social
#SeparatedAndProtected bike lanes are only part of the effort to #VisionZero.
After @bikeboston.bsky.social last memorial ride in March we had 3 policy recommendations to improve street safety including #BanRightOnRed in Boston and better crash analysis w community input

Boston ban right on red already. You're either a city for people or a city for cars #BanRightOnRed
3) Transparency and community involvement of investigations into all fatal crashes in Boston. Strong Towns has provided a framework called “Crash Analysis Studio”, which can inform our approach to analyzing and preventing crashes. The goals should be as follows: A timely public report is created with an analysis of what factors led to the crash including road design, vehicle size and blind spots, lack of enforcement, etc. The report should be standardized and able to be easily aggregated for research and analysis purposes The report contains input from advocacy and neighborhood groups and allow for public comment Mitigations are noted in the report as to how future crashes could be prevented, including short, medium, and longer term improvements A yearly public summary report is produced that summarizes the root causes of crashes in Boston, what progress has been made, and what is left to do
Aside from the obvious move to #BanRightOnRed, @mayorwu.boston.gov and Boston City Council need to implement @strongtowns.org "Crash Analysis Studio" method to PREVENT future crashes @ruthzee.bsky.social @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social

If Boston is serious about reducing and eliminating traffic deaths, ending right on red in the city, as NYC and Cambridge have done, is a no brainer #VisionZeroBoston #BanRightOnRed @ruthzee.bsky.social @clrhenrysantana.bsky.social @enriquepepen.bsky.social @ben4district6.bsky.social
Was driving over to Brookline today and crossing the SW Corridor Park at Heath Street and saw emergency vehicles and a biker. He was standing so not sure if there was a collision or not
On the way home I saw a pickup driver blow the light at the same "no turn on red" intersection #BanRightOnRed
2PM pedestrian safety hearing
Time for Boston to #BanRightOnRed
Glad there's data being collected on what we felt was clear. Austin also needs to #banrightonred
Boston must #BanRightOnRed
Of course automated enforcement would be the only thing that would actually enforce drivers breaking the law #AutomateSafeStreetsMass
