The data used by Zador. Moshman and Marcus to estimate the effects of right-turn-on-red on accidents were reanalyzed. In this analysis, the data were less aggregated than Zador et at. used. The result was that the increase in right-turn accidents at signalized intersections associated with the introduction of right-turn-on-red was only 14, not 2I% as found by Zador et aL
