Do vehicles need to observe traffic lights when turning right?
1 Answers
Generally, turning right at an intersection does not require stopping for a red light. Here is more relevant information: 1. Classification of traffic signals: There are two types - simple traffic lights and lane signal lights with arrow shapes. Whether right-turning vehicles need to wait for a red light at an intersection depends on whether the right-turn lane has simple traffic lights or right arrow indicator signal lights. If the right-turn lane signal light has an arrow indicator, vehicles must wait for the red light when it is illuminated. Otherwise, vehicles and pedestrians may proceed. 2. Traffic signals are divided into three colors: (1) When the green light is on. This indicates that vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct the passage of straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians that have been given the right of way. (2) When the yellow light is on, this serves as a warning that the light is about to change. Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. (3) When the red light is on, vehicles are prohibited from proceeding.
