As if clueless Portland drivers would even notice. The intersection outside my house in north Portland is no turn on red, the big sign declaring this is hanging right over the intersection, and like every fifth car just ignores it or doesn't see it.
I really hate getting honked at by the car behind me because I'm not turning right when there's a no turn on red sign.
Dude they turn left across the max tracks on Yamhill downtown by Nordstrom all the time even though there are big no left turn signs.
And what is the aversion to turn signals in this city? I ride a bike and religiously use hand signals.
Bold of you to assume drivers still know what those mean
Surprisingly they do!
Yeah, getting rid of turn on red kinda requires adding light up no turn signs (like what you might see at a rail crossing).
