Do vehicles need to observe traffic lights when making a right turn at an intersection?

[FernandoLee]

Generally, vehicles do not need to observe traffic lights when making a right turn, but the specific situation depends on the traffic signals at the time. More relevant information is as follows: 1. Types of traffic lights: Full circular lights, arrow-shaped lights, and single-direction signals where red and green circular lights apply. When the red light is on, all movements except right turns must stop and wait; when the green light is on, both straight and left turns are permitted. Arrow traffic lights are multi-directional signals, and drivers must follow the indicated direction. 2. Precautions: When making a right turn, stay in the right-turn lane, slow down, watch for pedestrians, and pay attention to surrounding signs. While waiting at a red light, to prevent rear-end collisions, shift to neutral and engage the handbrake to minimize vehicle damage. If the red light is about to turn green in a few seconds, shift to D (Drive) and apply the brakes. In some special road conditions, if the rightmost indicator light lacks a right-turn arrow, drivers should be particularly cautious.
