When is it allowed to turn right on a red light (where permitted)?

• A. Turn immediately after stopping.
• B. Turn on red without stopping if traffic is clear.
• C. Turn right on red is never allowed.
• D. After coming to a complete stop and yielding to pedestrians and traffic, only where signage allows.

Answer: (D)

Turning right on red is allowed only after you come to a complete stop and yield to pedestrians and traffic, and only where signage allows. The safety idea here is you pause to check that the crosswalks are clear and that no vehicles or cyclists have the right of way, then proceed if the way is clear and no sign forbids the turn. If there’s a sign saying no turn on red, or a red arrow, you must not turn. When permitted, turn into the nearest lane with enough room to complete the turn safely, watching for pedestrians and bicycles crossing the intersection. The other options miss the essential stop-and-yield requirement or ignore posted restrictions, which is why they’re not correct.
