Maybe drivers in your town are disciplined but drivers here can't adhere to a simple zipper merge.
I don't trust drivers turning right to yield to pedestrians. Many do but enough don't that I won't start walking until I can tell for sure. This slows down traffic.

Part of me wishes we'd just ban right-on-red outright in the US.
