Difficulty: MediumRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

When making a right turn at an intersection on a solid red light after coming to a complete stop, a driver must yield the right-of-way to vehicles executing a U-turn from the cross street under a protected green arrow traffic signal.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True. Drivers turning right on a solid red light must yield the right-of-way to vehicles executing a U-turn controlled by a protected green arrow signal.
Vehicles turning right on a solid red light must yield to all cross-street traffic that has a green light or protected arrow signal. A vehicle performing a U-turn on a protected green arrow has legal right-of-way over vehicles turning right on red.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the right-of-way status given by the traffic signals.
The driver turning right faces a solid red light, while the driver making a U-turn from the cross street faces a protected green arrow signal.
Traffic signal indication establishes legal precedence at controlled intersections.
2
Apply state DMV rules for right turns on red versus protected arrow movements.
A protected green arrow grants exclusive right-of-way to make the indicated turn, whereas turning right on red requires stopping completely and yielding to all oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, and U-turning traffic.
A red signal requires yielding to all movements allowed by a green signal.
