Should the city of Galesburg allow drivers to make right turns on red lights on Main St?

Why was the “no right on red” ordinance instituted originally?  Was it just cautionary?  What do the accident reports for Galesburg show about percentage of accidents attributed to persons turning right on red on other streets where this practice is allowable?  Seems to me that the practice should be uniform within the city; and persons have to come to a full stop, and if no traffic is coming they can turn right at a red light or stop sign.  The problem is: so many people these days are so impatient!  Some people think they are so special that they can go when it’s not their turn, but I’m sure that’s the case in every city and state.  Slow down folks!  We all live longer if more people are careful and drive defensively!  I say YES to this query.  I have been at a stoplight plenty of times when no traffic was coming, and it seemed I should be able to make my turn.  The more ordinances that are standard throughout the city, the less confusion we have concerning them.
