Even without right on red it’s kinda insane. You can have a green light to turn right while pedestrians have a green light to cross that very same street.

I kinda like the way they compromised in Quebec, where pedestrians just get a green light for the entire intersection and all cars have to wait.

Good point. It's almost as if turning a corner is a foreign concept in most of North America ;-). Jokes aside, it's frankly baffeling that only Quebec had some sense to look at this and go "Hold up, this makes no sense".
