Regarding the red stoplight:
In Germany we have a rule that you may turn right if theres a sign permitting you to do so. In that case the traffic light is to be treated like a STOP-sign.
Functionally the same but inverted in the states, there are signs that tell you when it's NOT allowed. Just a matter of which is more efficient, signing when it's allowed or signing when it's not.
I'd prefer the need to look for the sign instead of hoping nobody ripped it off.
Why would it really matter as long as you can see that it's obviously safe to do so?
Because more information is better than less.
