I've had to inform several people of this in the past few months. Same as being able to legally make a left turn onto a one way street if it's red, as long as you stop first.

What if there is a right turn lane and a yield sign at a traffic light, do you still have to abide by the traffic signal or does the yield sign override that? Or is the yield sign only there for when the signal is green and you have incoming traffic making a left turn?

Unless there is a keep moving sign I still always come to a complete stop, even with a yield sign if the signal is red. I've always been curious if I didn't have to stop if there is a yield sign...
