Current new bike lanes in Olympia, prohibited right turn on red for vehicle traffic. Right turn on red improves the flow of traffic, diminishes traffic jams, and eliminates some auto exhaust by moving vehicles instead of vehicles sitting in traffic waiting for a green light.

Personally, I been at these intersections waiting for a green light when formerly I could turn right on red. To date I have not seen 1 bicyclist at the intersection. Is this a solution looking for a problem that does not exist?

As our population increases, we have more vehicles on the road. Increased traffic jams in retail areas will occur, because, in part, no one can turn right on red will limit shoppers. It is already difficult to shop downtown with limited parking and narrow streets. Head to the strip malls, mall, and big box stores instead. There is parking and a better flow of vehicle traffic.
