Disagree. Turn on red after complete stop is allowed.

Enforcing stop for red lights is important.

It is allowed, but it shouldn’t be. NYC has this right.

Who exactly is going to enforce it?

If its state law, a police officer can enforce it or if cameras are present, like in NYC, they can send you a ticket to pay.

You obviously haven’t lived here very long. JCPD does not enforce anything. This is the problem.

You don't understand logic.

"JCPD does not enforce anything." is a poor statement and obviously false.

You should not spread false statements. I have lived in JC long enough.

How many fucking cops do you think there are? You want a cop at every single light that allows right on red? It's impossible. There are significantly moreover important and dangerous traffic infractions and even those who can't be enforced. Just disallow it.

NYC has an existing system, you can't run a red light at many intersections without getting a ticket. Overall compliance everywhere improves as culprits change habits or lose permits.

In NJ too many traffic violations are observed every day in addition to running stop signs and red lights. There is frequent crossing of solid lines, many without signalling. (Some vehicles, including trucks and Amazon delivery vans, take short cuts cutting through a Pulaski exit lane which has solid lines on both sides). Accidents on and near Pulaski show up on google maps all the time. Cameras could reduce accidents and big trucks on Pulaski would soon vanish.
