Yeah it's like trying to stop a wave in the ocean by putting a toothpick in the water. Good luck. Turn on red without stopping with or without "NTOR" sign is pretty much normal. Best just to count on these folks, ride slow, watch their tires for the tell tale turn and do your best to stay alive.

On my commute it is most annoying when i'm in the crosswalk where the bikepath crosses a road, the exit ramp from the freeway is going the same direction I am and every morning some yahoo comes barrelling off the freeway and turns right with their tires screeching, not even looking to see if there is oncoming traffic. I just stay out of the way and wait for my walk signal, and make sure I have eye contact with anyone on my left.
