Can it really be legal for motorcycles to run red lights? The answer in some places is “Yes.” Here’s why, and a list of every state where this is the law.

    Making traffic safer is literally no reason for you?

    Well, I disagree.

    And if you want to do it all very slowly, you can start making it a requirement for everything that gets built or changed next year and later.

      I mean, my preference would be to simply remove all traffic signalling and implement raised pedestrian crossings at all intersections. But no one listens to me.

      Meanwhile, I fail to see how this law makes anyone less safe, assuming it is followed appropriately. It is essentially the same law that many cyclists are allowed to follow - stop, look both ways, go if safe. Basically, treat it like a stop sign.
