Too many Las Vegas drivers block right turn on red

Why do people going straight stay in the right lane, inhibiting those who would like to turn right on red? I find this especially frustrating when there is an open middle or left lane available for those going straight at that intersection.

My wife defends them, saying “maybe they’re turning right into the next shopping center” — and maybe one time out of 10 this happens.

But the majority of the time, these drivers are going straight and end up blocking the right on red for others.

Unless there is a sign at an intersection that prohibits right turn on red, please leave the right lane open if you’re going straight so that other drivers turning right may do so and help keep traffic moving.

LETTER: Red Rock development ‘compromise’ is depressing

Red Rock Canyon is a fragile natural wonder. To claim that 3,500 homes and the traffic that goes with them, and changing the nature of the watershed, will not negatively impact the area is absurd.

It’s strange that the mainstream media are treating Russian combat ships miles off the Florida coast as nothing to see here.

Mr. Trump would have not won if his affair with Stormy Daniels had been made public after the “Access Hollywood” tapes in which Mr. Trump brags that he grabs women by the genitals.

LETTER: A balanced approach on the energy transition

We will never be free of fossil fuels. A balanced approach is needed. Politically doctrinaire positions on both sides won’t help us resolve the current problems.

I contend that the gas produced by the City Council is worse than anything the common folk could ever think of.
