abstract="A high level Task Force met at ITE Headquarters on January 14, 1983 to consider and discuss the new Indiana &quot;through on red&quot; law and its potential ramifications. Immediately following endorsement of the Task Force report a request was sent to the governor of Indiana recommending repeal of this law which allows motorists approaching a T intersection in the top of the T to proceed straight ahead after stop even though they are still facing a red traffic signal indication. This article reports the results of the Task Force study. The TOR impacts in the following areas were examined: (1) energy and pollution; (2) safety; (3) human factors; (4) impact on other states; (5) Federal funding ramifications; (6) uniformity of laws and traffic control devices; (7) logical extension of right turn on red; (8) ITE policies; (9) legal implications and liability; (10) public acceptance; (11) delay; (12) law enforcement; (13) pedestrians and bicycles; (14) transit operations; (15) signal operations and signal systems; and (16) capacity. Conclusions and recommendations made by the Task Force are reported, along the position statement issued by the ITE Technical Council.<p />",
