Car haters' next target: right turn on red

I see that there's a movement afoot nationally to abolish the practice whereby motorists are permitted to make a right turn against a red light if the coast is clear. (In Oregon, you can even make a left on red from a two-way street onto a one-way street.) Of course, the entitled bike children are the ones making most of the noise. They've even gotten their way in Ann Arbor, Michigan, where right-on-red is now forbidden downtown.

Of course, Portland won't be out-bike-toyed, and you can expect the City Hall "Vision Zero" munchkins to be proposing such a prohibition here as well. But since we also have a Traffic Cop Zero program, even if they outlaw right-on-red, plenty of drivers will still do it, with impunity. Thus, the situation will be even more dangerous than it is now. But the bikeys will get their way, and driving will be become a little more miserable than it is now; that's all that matters.
