Turning right on red debated: Too dangerous, or time saver?

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:38:54 GMT

The right to not turn right on redRe: “Right turn on red? U.S. cities discussing whether to ban it,” Nov. 5 news storyI’m glad to see a growing movement to outlaw right turns on red. While the practice seems harmless to some, there are real dangers. Dedicated right turn lanes are the worst when there is often no lane, or a very short one, to turn into so that drivers find themselves suddenly entering traffic. There are almost weekly accidents at one of these turn lanes near my home.Another potential danger is the difficulty in gauging oncoming traffic before making a free right turn. Often I find myself hesitant to turn due to poor visibility of oncoming traffic only to have someone behind me start honking impatiently. More than once I have inadvisably made a turn in response, only to regret it. Many drivers consider that right turn their due when it is really simply an allowance predicated on safe conditions.In a context where more drivers are prone to road rage and inc...

Ask Amy: Friends’ vacations must include “quiet time”

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 09:38:54 GMT

Dear Amy: My husband and I have wonderful friends: a husband and wife, and their 20-year-old daughter.They live on a gorgeous island, and several times each year, we vacation together in each other’s homes. These visits usually last 7 to 10 days, and during this time, we shop, talk, and eat meals together. We always have a lovely time.The problem is, I often feel the need each day to withdraw and recharge my batteries. After a full day of being social, I crave some privacy. I don’t mind my husband’s company, but I find that too much of a good thing is, well, too much.When the visits occur in my home, it’s not too bad for me. I can retire to my room, or read a book, and I usually can have time on my own.When we visit them, however, I feel as though they are trying too hard to dazzle me. They schedule a variety of activities, and I frequently feel obligated to participate.I have told our friends that, going forward, I really would not mind taking a room in a ho...
