Right turn on red? With pedestrian deaths rising, U.S. cities are

considering bans

By JEFF McMURRAY

CHICAGO (AP) — Sophee
Langerman was on her way
to a bicycle safety rally in
Chicago’s Lakeview neigh-
borhood in June when a car
turning right rolled through
a red light and slammed
into her bike, which she was
walking off the curb and into
the crosswalk.
The car was moving slowly
enough that Langerman es-
caped serious injury, but the
bicycle required extensive
repairs. To Langerman, it’s
another argument for end-
ing a practice that almost all
U.S. cities have embraced
for decades: the legal pre-
rogative for a driver to turn
right after stopping at a red A sign, indicating to drivers that right turns on red are not allowed within city limits, is displayed near the Manhattan exit of the
light. Lincoln Tunnel in New York, Thursday, Nov. 2, 2023.
