Question

Difficulty: MediumRegulatory Signs

A driver approaching a red traffic signal posted with a white rectangular 'NO TURN ON RED' regulatory sign is legally permitted to execute a right turn after coming to a complete stop and confirming the intersection is clear of pedestrians and cross-traffic.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. A posted 'NO TURN ON RED' regulatory sign strictly prohibits turning while the signal is red, overriding standard rules that allow turning after stopping.
The statement is false because a 'NO TURN ON RED' regulatory sign imposes an absolute prohibition on turning while the light is red. Stopping and checking for clear traffic does not exempt a driver from obeying posted regulatory turn restrictions.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the authority and function of the posted regulatory sign.
The 'NO TURN ON RED' sign is a regulatory sign enforcing mandatory traffic laws.
Regulatory signs inform drivers of specific legal restrictions and requirements.
2
Determine how the regulatory sign modifies standard traffic light rules.
While drivers may normally turn right on red after stopping and yielding, a posted prohibition sign removes this permission entirely until the signal turns green.
Specific regulatory signs take precedence over general traffic movement permissions.
