Mahattan is quite separate from the other boroughs...you have to take
a bridge/tunnel/ferry to get in or out. There's more confusion when
entering the outer boroughs from neighbouring counties...surely there
isn't a 'no turn on red' sign at every single entry point?

Dunno.

But it is generally known that NYC doesn't allow RTOR.

Not as generally as you'd think...lots of out-of-towners get ticketed
for doing it.

Not me... ;-)

People coming over from the UKraine would be reluctant to turn right
on a red light, even when it IS allowed :----------------)


“I don't want to live in a city where the only cultural advantage is
that you can make a right turn on a red light.”
- Woody Allen (1935 - ), 'Annie Hall' (1977), in reference to LA

That's a native New Yorker talking territorially and understandably so.


I'm surprised he can even drive.

But Los Angeles has many other cultural advantages.


Indeed. Skid Row, the 405, Compton, Hollyvood...have I left any out?


You can keep Compton.


But not on racial grounds, I assume.

But I'm quite fond of the 405.


4pm on a Friday?

Just imagine what would happen if the traffic had to use Sepulveda
Boulevard instead.


Or the PCH. Carmaggedon!
