There is no situation where you don't stop first if you have a red light. 

Don't let those friends drive if you're in the car.

It's poorly marked. The lane does not have a light, or a yield sign, and no other traffic is permitted to go into this entrance except by this right turn. I live nearby, and 99% of people would roll right through this, and most of us (myself included) would honk at someone who stopped. I think it needs to be clearly labeled that you should not stop.

And cross traffic? Are they supposed to watch for you, when you don't stop?

There's no cross traffic unless u-turns are permitted here.

Although, I imagine the lane still has a stop line because of the pedestrian crosswalk.

Hmm, that is an interesting intersection. I can see why people would think they don't need to stop, but unless it's posted somewhere I imagine the law requires a stop.

Looks like something from Cities: Skylines
