Signals and pavement markingsQuestion 72 of 296

You face a steady red light. No sign bans a turn. You want to turn right. What must you do first?

  1. Slow down and turn if you see no police car
  2. Turn at once, because right turns have the right of way
  3. Wait for the light to turn green
  4. Stop, then yield to traffic and pedestrians, then turn with care
Show answer

Correct answer: Stop, then yield to traffic and pedestrians, then turn with care

After a full stop, you may turn right on a red light, unless a sign bans it. First yield to traffic that is so close it is a hazard, and to pedestrians in the crosswalk.
