Famous Lights Some El Pasoans Ignore the ‘No Turn on Red’ Sign at

I'm stunned to know just how many El Paso drivers ignore the No Turn On Red signs posted on street lights. I have caught so many red-light runners when I get stuck at the lights on North Mesa Street and Executive Center. The far-right lane closer to the Wells Fargo ATM can only turn right when the light is green. But not a lot of drivers actually follow what the sign says.

That isn't the only set of traffic lights with a no turn on a red sign in El Paso. Another familiar spot I see people make a right turn on a red when they shouldn't is Downtown. The set of lights with a no turn on a red sign is located at Santa Fe and Wyoming Avenue. After finishing my shift at DeadBeach Brewery I would always come across someone who ignored the sign. The worst part about it all is when they honk at you to break the law with them.

In my opinion, I believe some people need to see this because of what I've experienced at those lights. I have had my share of El Paso drivers honking at me to turn right when it says no turn on red. I feel after hearing so many honks at these lights lately some El Paso drivers needed to know this. I haven't had trouble the times I've been on the Eastside at a red light with that particular sign. If you abide by the traffic signs be sure to keep an eye out for those who don't and ignore them in these areas.
