I don't ride through this intersection enough to comment on
specifically, but I do find "No right on red" intersections in general
to be problematic. The problem is that it's easy for a driver to space
out the "No" part of the sign; Right turn on red is kinda an automatic
driving reflex and the sign doesn't always jolt the driver out of
autopilot mode.
I've witnessed way too many close calls at John Nolen-North Shore death
trap.

Here's what I wrote:
Category: Traffic Enforcement Concern
Type of Violation: Stop Light Violation
Day of Violation: All
Time of Violation: All pm
Location: The intersection of Division St. at Atwood Avenue heading
North (Car driving on Division St. turing right onto Atwood Ave
heading east).
Message: Right on red from Division St. onto Atwood. Signage indicates
"no right on red". The sign is placed too far back in the intersection
to be seen properly by cars that are stopped at a red light. A sign
should be placed across Atwood so that it is clearly visible by a car
that has come to a stop at the intersection. This creates an extremely
dangerous situation for cyclists and others crossing the Capital City
Path. A friend of mine was nearly struck by a car at this intersection
last night.
