Why is there a “no turn on red” on this intersection? No idea; it’s got the best visibility of any intersection on my bike route, the road is wide, straight, and flat for about a mile to the left.

It doesn’t matter to me, because I never go right at this intersection. It doesn’t matter to anyone else, either, because it is almost universally ignored.

That’s what happens when laws make no sense and they’re not enforced. It almost makes me think they originally planned to put a red light camera at this intersection and wanted to set up a revenue stream.

Actually, given that San Diego tried to get away with shortening yellow times on red light cameras several years back, maybe that is what happened.
