Traffic lights and pavement markingsQuestion 185 of 318

You turn right on a red light, where it is allowed. A pedestrian is about to enter the crosswalk. What must you do?

  1. Turn first, because the pedestrian is still on the curb
  2. Sound your horn so the pedestrian waits, then turn
  3. Let the pedestrian go first, then turn if the way is free
  4. Turn, because the light is red for the pedestrian
Show answer

Correct answer: Let the pedestrian go first, then turn if the way is free

You must yield to pedestrians and cyclists in or about to enter the intersection. A right turn on red is never required: turn only if the way is free.
