Suggestion: flagging down vehicles on foot

It would be really cool if you could flag down vehicles while on foot, basically a traffic stop but you dont have to be in your car, so if you're on a call and someone comes through and runs over your bodies or whatever, you can just flag them down, and they will pull off and wait for you to make contact with them when you are ready without you having to get in your car and chase them down, abandoning the scene to catch them.

If you hold down E like you are stopping pedestrians, cars in the area will stop too and the driver/passengers will get out.

The Traffic Control mod also comes in handy. This is the solution I use when I want to stop 2 vehicles at once (absolutely no one respects red lights when they are on the lane on the right, so you sometimes have 2 vehicles running the red light at the same moment).

Which makes me think: is there a way to fix this issue? Because at this point I believe that it is not a matter of drivers being careless about traffic regulations but it seems to me that is just GTA being bugged and it is like red lights do not exist for vehicles on right lanes because no one ever respect this light.

It's because those cars are supposed to be turning right. Turning right on red is perfectly legal in most parts of the US. I think the AI gets confused and goes straight instead of turning right sometimes, though. The same thing happens with left turn lanes. Cars in the left turn lane will wait for the left turn light to turn green, but sometimes continue straight instead of turning.
