Restricting Right Turns on Red

[danbrotherston]

However there is an additional problem with stop lights on the far side—in some cases, especially with complex intersections, drivers may cross the bar and enter the intersection, then see the light turn red and wrongly stop in the middle of the intersection because of it.

This made me realize that near-side signals are also probably incompatible with unprotected left turns (or at least fairly problematic). Many intersections here, at least during higher traffic times of day, depend on vehicles waiting in the intersection and only actually clearing on it yellow/red.

Yeah, that is also true. That is another thing that simply doesn't exist here.
