Is it not necessary to wait for the traffic light when turning right?
1 Answers
Whether you need to wait for the red light when turning right depends on the situation. At intersections with circular signal lights or without any auxiliary signs, you do not need to wait for the red light to turn right. However, if the signal light is an arrow type, you must wait for the red light to turn right. When making a right turn, vehicles must drive in the right-turn lane. If you turn right from a straight or left-turn lane, it will increase traffic congestion and may result in penalties from law enforcement for running a red light. How to identify the right-turn lane: Look for the overhead lane signs at the intersection, which are placed high for visibility from a distance, allowing you to change lanes in advance. Alternatively, check the road markings to find the lane marked for right turns. Precautions for right turns: One easily overlooked violation during a right turn is failing to yield to pedestrians. If pedestrians are crossing the road while you are turning right, you must stop and wait; otherwise, you may face fines. Additionally, if a left-turning vehicle is approaching while you are turning right, you must yield to it. In case of a collision, the right-turning vehicle bears greater responsibility.
