Turning right on red is incredibly dangerous and allowing it to be normalized into society should never have been done. You will be hard pressed to find a person who frequently walks around the city who would disagree with this.

My whole family was almost hit by an SUV that came to a perfunctory rolling stop and then immediately gunned the right turn without looking, while we were already in the middle of the crosswalk.

It sucks for drivers who are patient and willing to wait for the light to change to green. Often I don't feel comfortable turning right on red (typically due to not having a full view of oncoming traffic), so I'll wait. I get honked at by cars behind me for doing this. It's nerve-wracking to have horns blaring at you when waiting for the light to change.

Then don't complain when cars are limited in Cambridge for noise pollution. You can wait the extra 1 minute it's not a big deal. Like you're not that important lmfao

They are not right to honk. Right turn on red is always optional. Maybe don’t drive if you don’t know the law.
