Why is it not necessary to wait for a red light when turning right?

[JoshuaDella]

The reasons why it is not necessary to wait for a red light when turning right are as follows: In China, the principle of right-hand traffic applies, making the right side relatively safer when turning right. The driver is positioned on the left, facilitating observation of the traffic conditions on the left. Below are the precautions for vehicles turning right: 1. Penalties: If there is a dedicated right-turn lane, vehicles must not use other lanes to turn right. At three consecutive red lights, if a vehicle turns right from a straight lane, electronic surveillance will automatically capture the violation, which will be deemed as running a red light, resulting in point deductions and fines. 2. Reminder: Drivers must pay attention to road signs and not rely solely on their memory, especially when driving in unfamiliar areas. Some places may prohibit right turns or require stopping at red lights to alleviate traffic pressure and achieve vehicle diversion, but clear reminders will be provided. 3. Yielding to pedestrians: Drivers must yield to pedestrians and be aware of their surroundings. Pedestrians and electric vehicles may appear when turning right, so vehicles should slow down and wait for pedestrians to pass before proceeding.
