In Fast Company, I argued that it's time for the US and Canada to end right-on-red, a policy that needlessly endangers pedestrians and cyclists.

Before I moved to Montreal I would have ardently supported right-on-red. But after cycling, walking, and occasionally driving in the city with no right on red for the past five years it's become crystal clear how much allowing the practice makes cities hostile toward humans.
It really only makes sense if you consider cars to be the only kind of 'traffic' on our streets.
