I was going to start with one of my pet peeves,

and it turns out, conveniently, here's a story about it.

You know, driving to work and going through the D.C. Street,

suddenly all these signs have popped up. No right turn on red.

And it's kind of ridiculous because you just sit there and even if there isn't a car for a mile in either

direction, according to the sign, you're not supposed to make that turn. And look, I'm sure there are some intersections

where it's warranted, but basically, you know, all that time you just spent sitting there,

I mean, drivers are not all horrible and they can figure out when the oncoming traffic is

too much and wait to make that

turn. So here's obviously a local story, Washington Post. As it turns out, the city will only

force a ban on about half of the district's 1600 intersections where it has erected these

no turn on red signs.

The director of the D.C. Department of Transpation said a citywide ban was impractical,

given the number of people traversing the roads. Many of the cars on our roads are coming from

Maryland, Virginia, where it's okay to turn right on red. We don't think it's safe without signs.
