I learned this in a super terrifying way while riding my bike home from work on the late side. Fuckin yikes. Just assume every car is willing to run reds and cannot see you.

I moved here from a state where its legal and thought the no right on red thing was so stupid.... until I actually arrived in Manhattan and realized everyone has a e-bike that goes damn near as fast as a moped

Actually NYC is the only place in the nation where it is default illegal without signage. Everywhere else in the US it is legal to turn right on red unless prohibited by a sign or traffic signals.

We also have a culture of pedestrians walking on red even when cars are coming through across the street.

I almost got hit by a car the blew a red from a dead stop. Just gunned it into the intersection half way through the red. Insanity.
