It doesn't help when signage isn't even placed appropriately. I've been meaning to figure out who to complain to about the one at King and Water which is usually ignored and I can't blame drivers for it.
The sign is 1) not hung on the opposite side of the intersection's traffic light like usual, 2) is obscured by a tree on approach, and 3) is located behind the vehicle stopped at the line.

I think at least downtown could benefit from a blanket ban. There are so many turns right now where it's permitted despite being a completely unreasonable maneuver. I think part of the problem is that many drivers think that needing to completely block a pedestrian crosswalk in order to see cross traffic is acceptable, but really that should automatically prohibit right on red at least in high pedestrian areas.
