Right on red

[quickdodge®]

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.

Only if the street you are turning from is also a one-way street can you do this.

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?

The stop light overrides the YIELD sign. Yield is mainly for oncoming traffic when they have a green light and can make a left turn to your right 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...

If you're not sure, it is always best/recommended to go ahead and stop.

Something else not a lot of people realize is if you approach a right turn that has an actual traffic light with arrows in it, you have to abide by those arrows and their color. Even if there is no NO RIGHT TURN ON RED sign and the right turn arrow is red, you can NOT make that turn.

Later, QD.
