In Utah people are allowed to turn right on red lights. But what most people don’t seem to understand is, that means AFTER you’ve come to a stop at the intersection, and made sure it’s SAFE to turn right. I’ve seen so many accidents here because people think if they’re turning right, they don’t have stop at the light - even though there’s traffic coming through the green light side of the intersection. The problem isn’t the law, it’s that people don’t pay attention and think about what they’re doing. In every accident I’ve seen, humans not paying attention is the real cause.
