Pedantic point here. 😀 Going south on Morse and meeting Meggison, there ain't no 12 o'clock.

I liked the analogy of the logic of regular intersection rules except maybe for the "stop, turn right on red" situation - when making that right turn onto a road which has more than one lane, whose *right* lane is clear but whose "next" lane *isn't*. Actually, I still like it, but it has me wondering about whether that right turn should be made prior to that "next" lane becoming totally clear, as well. And, I *do* ponder it every time the situation arises - knowing that some of you folks will be blaring your horns from behind should I be exercising "excessive" caution. 😀
