Ah yes the U.S. is different....for many years I drove while visiting the U.S. on business/holidays, and decided to get a California driver's licence. That was in the days when you had to turn-up at the DMV in Sacramento and take a short practical test; I was told I almost got 100% but was docked a point because I did not turn right against a red light. (It was just ingrained in me not to do that kind of thing). Imagine the chaos/accidents if that approach was introduced in the UK with scarcely any warning.....
(Oh and in some states you can turn LEFT against a red light, Read All Abah't It at https://axleaddict.com/safety/Obscure-Driving-Regulations-Ignorance-is-no-excuse )
