What are the rules for right turns at traffic lights?
1 Answers
Traffic light rules for right turns are as follows: No special signal light: If the intersection only has a standard circular traffic light without any additional auxiliary signs, vehicles can make a right turn as long as they do not obstruct other vehicles or pedestrians. Right-turn arrow signal: When the traffic light is not the common "circular" type but an arrow signal, it clearly indicates the right-of-way for each direction. A right turn is only permitted when the green arrow is illuminated. Dedicated right-turn lane: Some intersections have dedicated right-turn lanes. At these intersections, the rightmost lane usually does not allow right turns; instead, a separate right-turn lane is designated on the right side. Other prohibition signs: Certain intersections may have additional signs, such as "No Right Turn" or "No Right Turn on Red." If these prohibition signs are present, right turns are not allowed.
