Can You Turn Right on a Straight Red Light?
1 Answers
A straight red light does not allow a right turn. A full green light in principle permits left turns, going straight, and right turns. A green arrow light allows movement in the specified lane according to the direction of the arrow, and arrow traffic lights are usually accompanied by lane indicator signs. When vehicles pass through an intersection with arrow traffic lights, in addition to following the guidance of the arrow lights, they must also choose the correct lane. When the left-turn green arrow light is on, vehicles can only pass through the left-turn lane. When the straight green arrow light is on, vehicles can only pass through the straight lane. In the absence of additional traffic signs or markings, a right turn can be made under the premise of ensuring safety. If there is a sign indicating to proceed straight on a right turn when the straight light is green, then the green straight light allows passage. At any time, pedestrians on crosswalks must be given way. Modern traffic signals are very user-friendly, and at particularly complex intersections, there may be traffic police directing traffic or Chinese character prompts. Road traffic signals are a category of traffic safety products. They are an important tool for strengthening road traffic management, reducing the occurrence of traffic accidents, improving road usage efficiency, and enhancing traffic conditions. They are applicable at intersections such as crossroads and T-junctions, controlled by road traffic signal controllers, guiding vehicles and pedestrians to pass safely and orderly.
