Can You Turn Right on a Red Light?

[StRiley]

There are two scenarios for turning right on a red light: 1. If it's a circular traffic signal, vehicles in the right-turn lane can proceed to turn right when the light is red, but they must not obstruct other vehicles with the right of way, as well as pedestrians and vehicles on the rear and right-side roads. 2. If it's an arrow-shaped right-turn signal, turning right is not allowed when the light is red. Some special intersections may have additional signs, and the instructions on these signs take precedence—they may prohibit right turns or allow them. If you're concerned about running a red light, you can check for traffic violations online, which are usually available for query within 3 to 5 days after the violation. Simply enter your license plate number and the last six digits of your engine number to check. Any fines must be paid within 15 days, otherwise a 3% late fee will accrue daily, up to a maximum of double the original fine. Additionally, unresolved violations can affect your annual vehicle inspection.
