When may you turn right on a red light?

• A. Only after a full stop and yielding to pedestrians and traffic, unless prohibited by sign
• B. Immediately after stopping
• C. Never
• D. Only when there is no cross traffic

Answer: (A)

You may turn right on red after you come to a full stop and yield to pedestrians and cross traffic, unless a sign or signal bars the turn. The key is stopping completely, looking for people in the crosswalk and other vehicles, and only proceeding when it’s safe and there’s no prohibition. If you see a “No Turn on Red” sign or a red arrow, you must not turn. In short: stop, yield, and then turn right if the way is clear and allowed.
