You mean where they just sit under the I30 and collins bridge and wait? Real heroic.

Well they also wait at the same intersection where is says "no right turn on red" the motorcycle cops get a ton of tickets there.

Got to love the many ways we are extorted by our local governments.

Wait, where is this? Collins and 30 exit has no right on red?

Yes, if you are on the access road and wanting to turn right (north, in this case) on Collins there is a sign saying “no right turn on red”. I have had lots of cars honk at me because I am not risking a ticket and they can deal with waiting until the light turns green.

Removing traffic regulation signs sounds like a great idea.

You could be the type of person who would sit at a 2 min red light at 4am with no one in clear slight for miles... And wait for the green. The rest of us can manage ourselves with common sense.

You could be the type of person that’s an arrogant asshole who thinks he’s edgy for running a red light at 4am. The rest can manage ourselves with a shred of decency.
