12.3 Edit - Right Turn On Red (RTOR)

[Aquaa]

Is this a new law or a change to a current law: Change

What law do you wish to change/add: 12.3

Why should this change/addition be made: There are multiple benefits to allowing a Right Turn On Red. First and foremost, the biggest benefit of allowing this is decreasing congestion throughout the city. This was suggested and denied previously in 2015-2016 because there wasn't enough congestion to validate it being added, this was when the server had a population cap of 60 people. Now, we have more than doubled in slots and the server is usually over 100 for most of the day. As a result, the main intersection can get very congested at times - This creates a very serious problem because it can end up blocking the PD Private Parking lot gates, making it harder for officers at PD to leave and respond to an emergency situation. Less importantly, allowing a Right Turn On Red ends up saving time and gas for individuals consequentially meaning less driving time, which means less pollutants in the atmosphere!!!!

The most obvious con to this suggestion is Pedestrian Safety. This is a completely valid point, and I would propose that this change is added to only be allowed at the PD/Hospital Intersection. The reason for this is that there is no crosswalk therefore no one is going to get run over besides suicidal individuals running across the intersection, but that is an issue for Darwinism.

There is absolutely no safety issues with implementing this at the main intersection, all you have to do is stop, observe traffic from the oncoming lane, and make your turn.

Making right turns on reds is allowed (some by signs only) in most states, and many countries, and continents all over the world.

Roundabouts will only work in perp if they are big. If they are small, all it does is temper people driving, then it would just be added clutter to the map.
Dutch peeps will probs understand my dilemma

but roundabout will save 70% of sweater lives as they can hide on it while cars zoom around instead of running over highway

Given that most people drive like absolute twats on this server (myself included), the last thing we need is someone pulling out on a red light coming from PD to go right and some mad man going 130MPH in their generic supercar from the Suburbs area which then will end with them smacking the absolute shit into the other person's car.

Wrecks wouldn't be an issue if you followed the law and stopped speeding. Your putting yourself at risk for 0 reason by doing 130 down the highway. I feel its unfair to downvote this suggestion because people can't follow speed limits. its not our fault that people continue to choose to speed extremely dangerously.

Regardless of who is at fault, ultimately prevention of serious injury/collisions is significantly more important than the small number of benefits of adding right on red brings.

I would say not speeding would severely prevent serious injury and collisions. Most accidents i see on the server are caused by speeding.

Would you be in favour of adding speed cameras that can be placed down on the highway then? Don't get me wrong, I agree that the freedom of consequences speeders have is ridiculous. However, in the history of PERP, suggestions that would put speeders at higher risk of getting caught were almost immediately put down, with the argument, that it would damage the gameplay aspect of PERP.

If you genuinely want this law to be adjusted, you need to add more ways for the PLPD to catch speeders.

I'm very much in favor of that.
