That's so bizarre to me. Even on green you sometimes have to stop if the pedestrians have green too. And right on red still confuses me. Why not have a dedicated green arrow light?
You are supposed to come to a stop, yield for any cross traffic that has the right of way, then you can turn right when it’s clear.
A green arrow light wouldn’t solve the problem because right on red is supposed to allow people to merge with the flow of traffic, and a green arrow would require there to be no traffic.
