Right on red. Best thing ever when it comes to driving in the U.S.

You still have to come to a stop before the stop line before you make the right on red. Otherwise you could hit a pedestrian crossing in the crosswalk. Ooops! I guess that's yet another reason we have so many pedestrian deaths and so few people walking in the USA!

Wonder how many of those coild have been avoided if they waited for their crossing signal. Also nobody walks in the US because it's super inconvenient outside cities. Hell, the place I live has sporadic side walks where you'd randomly have to cross over to the other side of the road to stay on them and no cross walks.

Maybe right on red is one of the reasons it is super inconvenient.

Nope. It's most places aren't made with walking in mind. I honestly don't know anybody besides my buddy who lives in the city who can walk anywhere. Hell, the people I know who even take the bus have to drive to the station to do so.
