Jane is joined by contributor Chase Hutchinson and producer Sam J Leeds to answer a listener's question about why ‘no right turn on red’ signs are popping up seemingly overnight across Seattle. In light of the tragic death of a pedestrian hit by a car on Capitol Hill earlier this week, Jane explains the research backing the increased pedestrian safety these signs create and how Seattle is implementing them. Then, Sam breaks down the criminal charges for an unauthorized drone operator at the Seahawks parade and what’s up with drone regulations in Seattle. Finally, Jane asks for the best places to cry in Seattle.
