Turn on red
01
the legal maneuver allowing drivers to make a right turn at a red traffic light after coming to a complete stop
What is "turn on red"?
Turn on red refers to a traffic rule that allows drivers to turn right at a red traffic light, after stopping, unless there is a sign that specifically prohibits it. This rule is intended to improve traffic flow, but drivers must first come to a complete stop and ensure there is no oncoming traffic or pedestrians crossing before making the turn. The rule varies by location, so it is important to be aware of local traffic laws.
Examples
In some countries, drivers are allowed to make a turn on red when it is safe to do so.
When I visited the United States, I learned about the turn on red rule at intersections.
