Under what circumstances is a right turn not allowed?

[VonBrandon]

Right turns are prohibited at intersections where there are traffic warning signs indicating that right turns are not allowed when the red light is on. Traffic signals: At intersections with arrow indicators, right turns are permitted when the right-turn signal is green. If the signal is red, right turns are not allowed. Warning signs for entering auxiliary lanes: On road sections with warning signs indicating that right-turning vehicles should enter auxiliary lanes, making a right turn from the main road is considered a traffic violation. Drivers intending to turn right must yield to vehicles going straight, pay attention to pedestrians, and only proceed with the turn when it is safe to do so. Changing lanes in advance: In urban traffic conditions, which are often congested, many drivers decide to change lanes at the last moment when approaching a turn. This can easily lead to scraping accidents or changing lanes over solid lines, resulting in penalty points and fines, which are not worth the risk.

Having driven for over a decade, I know you need to pay close attention when making right turns. The most obvious situations are when there's a red circular 'no right turn' sign at the intersection or when there are right-turn prohibition markings on the road. You also need to be careful at red lights: unless there's a green right-turn arrow or a sign saying 'right turn permitted on red,' you should wait patiently. When pedestrians are crossing at a crosswalk, you must stop and yield – don't try to rush the turn. And if a traffic officer is directing traffic and signals you to stop, you can't move even if the light is green. Once, I encountered a fire truck with sirens blaring and immediately braked to yield – trying to force a right turn in such a situation would be illegal.

When I first got my driver's license, the instructor repeatedly emphasized the need for caution when making right turns. Never risk turning at intersections with no-turn signs—I've seen many novice drivers get ticketed for not paying attention. Turning right on red is a big no-no unless there's a specific sign explicitly permitting it. Always keep an eye on the crosswalk when turning; you must stop if anyone steps onto the road. Extra care is needed at night, especially in rainy conditions when visibility is poor or when oncoming headlights are blinding—don't force a turn if you can't see clearly. There are also situations where the turn lane is blocked by an accident vehicle, in which case you'll have to wait for clearance. Remember, following the right-of-way rules will never steer you wrong.

From a traffic regulation perspective, right-turn restrictions are clearly defined. When encountering a prohibition sign (typically a circular red background with a white arrow), drivers must come to a complete stop. Regarding traffic signals, right turns are prohibited under a solid red light unless otherwise indicated. Special zones like school areas during peak hours or railroad crossings also impose turning bans. The most crucial yielding obligation: pedestrians have absolute right-of-way, and turning vehicles must stop to yield. All vehicles must give way to emergency vehicles like police cars and ambulances performing urgent duties. Additionally, temporary restrictions often apply in construction zones – drivers should remain vigilant for posted signage.
