Can you turn right on a red arrow signal?

No, according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law": A red traffic light indicates that vehicles are prohibited from passing. Arrow direction signals pointing left, up, or right respectively indicate left turns, straight movement, or right turns. Therefore, when the right-turn arrow signal is red, vehicles in the right-turn lane must not proceed; otherwise, it constitutes running a red light. Details are as follows: 1. If a vehicle proceeds through a right-turn lane when the red arrow is already lit, it will be considered running a red light if caught on camera. Under the new regulations, running a red light incurs a 6-point penalty and a fine of 200 yuan. 2. If a vehicle has just crossed the stop line when the light turns red but stops immediately, traffic authorities will not penalize it. However, if there is noticeable movement after crossing the line, penalties will apply. Electronic monitoring captures three photos for red-light violations: the vehicle crossing the stop line, followed by the vehicle in the middle of the intersection, and then reaching the opposite side of the intersection. 3. Motor vehicles must not reverse at railway crossings, intersections, one-way roads, bridges, sharp curves, steep slopes, or tunnels. Violations may result in a warning or a fine ranging from 20 to 200 yuan. 4. Traffic police authorities state that according to the "Regulations for the Implementation of the Road Traffic Safety Law of the People's Republic of China," vehicles that have already crossed the stop line when the yellow light is flashing may continue to pass.
