Turns and lanesQuestion 130 of 235

You stop at a red light and you may turn right. How must you make the turn?

  1. Wait for the light to turn green.
  2. Speed up to go before the cross traffic.
  3. Turn when it is safe and yield to other traffic.
  4. Turn at once, because you stopped.
Show answer

Correct answer: Turn when it is safe and yield to other traffic.

The full stop does not give you the right-of-way. You turn when it is safe and let other traffic go first.
