Traffic signalsQuestion 96 of 223

A steady red signal shows. When may you turn right on this red signal?

  1. Without a stop, when no other vehicle is near
  2. Only when a green arrow shows with the red signal
  3. After you stop, unless a sign bans the turn or a red arrow shows
  4. Never, because red always means stay stopped
Show answer

Correct answer: After you stop, unless a sign bans the turn or a red arrow shows

After a full stop, you may turn right on a steady red signal. A sign that bans the turn or a red arrow stops this. Follow the rules for a STOP sign. Some places do not allow a turn on red. Look for a sign that bans it.
