The "no right on red" signs at Hamilton and Willow restrict the ability to turn right outside the prime bike/pedestrian crossing time that these signs were intended to support.

No Thru Traffic signs ought to work as well as the laws requiring drivers to use turn signals and banning cell phone use while driving.

No Thru Traffic signs are neither enforceable or recognized by the State of California as an authorized traffic control device.

Not only are they not enforceable, there is barely any traffic enforcement in MP or the surrounding towns anymore. Only thing I see is the cameras on the lights in MP and the occasional Atherton cop busting speeders in the typical locations. Stay safe.

So the signage makes sense:
It appeases those who want the City to do "something", but does not task public services (police) with any additional "burden".
Brilliant!

It absolves law and order from enforcing clear rules and leaves
