If unsafe, repeal right turn on red
If right turn on red was such a safety issue, I imagine IDOT or whoever governs this rule would repeal the right turn on red law. Like any other traffic law, there always seems to be some leeway, i.e. 35 mph in a posted 30 mph zone.
If the municipalities are going to enforce rolling over the stop bar, then they need to ticket everyone going over the posted speed limit as well. Lastly, please don't honk at me if I refuse to turn right on a red.
