I'm on board with the majority of this, but I question the restricted right on red. What benefit does that bring? Collisions with bicyclists come to mind, but I think turning right on green, when everyone is moving forward and faster, is more risky.
People don't look right when turning right, they look left. This presents people on foot or bicycle at intersections an unnecessary risk. A 1995 report from the NHTSA found 93% of RTOR crashes with pedestrians or cyclists resulted in injury. It's time we put people first.
