Actually the free left on red idea has been implemented in many states.  In
urban areas, such as New York, this idea would not make traffic congestion
more interesting, since it applies, obviously, only to left turns onto one-
way streets, and is thereby the functional equivalent of the current right-
turn on red we see nowadays.  This idea is more practical in areas where the
ratio of one-way to two-way streets is high, ie in congested urban areas.
