And indeed it should be: http://mutcd.fhwa.dot.gov/htm/2009/part2/part2b.htm#section2B54 Standard: 01 Where a right turn on red (or a left turn on red from a one-way street to a one-way street) is to be prohibited, a symbolic NO TURN ON RED (symbolic circular red) (R10-11) sign (see Figure 2B-27) or a NO TURN ON RED (R10-11a, R10-11b) word message sign (see Figure 2B-27) shall be used. Guidance: 02 If used, the No Turn on Red sign should be installed near the appropriate signal head. 03 A No Turn on Red sign should be considered when an engineering study finds that one or more of the following conditions exists: Inadequate sight distance to vehicles approaching from the left (or right, if applicable); Geometrics or operational characteristics of the intersection that might result in unexpected conflicts; An exclusive pedestrian phase; An unacceptable number of pedestrian conflicts with right-turn-on-red maneuvers, especially involving children, older pedestrians, or persons with disabilities; More than three right-turn-on-red accidents reported in a 12-month period for the particular approach; or The skew angle of the intersecting roadways creates difficulty for drivers to see traffic approaching from their left.
