Can a right-turning vehicle directly enter the leftmost lane?
1 Answers
Right-turning vehicles cannot directly enter the leftmost lane. Strictly speaking, a right turn must pass the stop line, but many turning behaviors without crossing the stop line are rarely penalized. Conditions under which a right turn is allowed: Generally, traffic regulations permit right-turning vehicles to turn right directly from the rightmost lane, provided it does not interfere with vehicles proceeding under a green light. Conditions under which a right turn is prohibited: When there is a separate right-turn arrow signal light and it is red; when auxiliary signs such as 'No right turn on red' or 'Right turn prohibited on red' are displayed at the traffic signal.
