Right near my place of work, there is a highway on-ramp branching off the main road. It has a red light just for those people getting on the highway. Right next to the light, on the overhead stanchion, is a “No Right on Red” sign. People drive right through the red light, regularly. I suppose it would be hard to see, if you weren’t staring right at that point in space to see the freakin’ traffic light. Morons.
