I live in Virginia, but I had a similar thing happen to me on Tuesday. I was on a sidewalk (that is also a designated bike route) and I crossed a street near the entrance to Chain Bridge near D.C. The car made a right on red and plowed into me in the crosswalk. The person who hit me was a nurse and tried to fix up the bruises, and that was the extent of injuries. I can see why it happened because the visibility is near zero at that intersection. I am going to ask Arlington County to put a no right on red sign there.
