I thought this wording was interesting...
A major purpose of this project was to examine the effects of the Western
Right-Turn--On-Red (RTOR) law upon pedestrian and bicyclist accidents at
signalized locations. As indicated in the report there is a
small,
well-defined accident problem in both areas.
in light of this:
- As a percentage of-all pedestrian accidents, right-turning accidents at signalized locations went from 1.47% (before RTOR implementation) to 2.28% (after implementation), a 55% increase.
- As a percentage of all bicyclist accidents, right-turning accidents at signalized locations went from 1.40% (before implementation) to 2.79% (after. Implementation), a 99% increase.
Yeah, just a "small problem..."
