Can You Turn Right When the Straight Light is On?
1 Answers
When the straight light is red, you can turn right if there is no dedicated right-turn signal. However, right-turning vehicles must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. At intersections without separate signals for non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians, non-motorized vehicles and pedestrians should follow the motor vehicle traffic signals. When the red light is on, right-turning vehicles can proceed if they do not obstruct the passage of other vehicles or pedestrians. The meanings of motor vehicle and non-motorized vehicle traffic signals are as follows: When the green light is on: Vehicles are allowed to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians; When the yellow light is on: Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed; When the red light is on: Vehicles are prohibited from proceeding.
