Question

Difficulty: MediumRegulatory Signs

A driver approaching a steady red traffic light at an intersection posted with a rectangular white regulatory sign reading 'NO TURN ON RED' is legally permitted to make a right turn after coming to a complete stop and yielding to cross traffic.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. A posted 'NO TURN ON RED' regulatory sign explicitly prohibits turning right or left while the signal is red, even after bringing the vehicle to a full stop.
A posted 'NO TURN ON RED' regulatory sign establishes a mandatory restriction that overrides general state laws permitting turns on red after stopping. Drivers must wait for the light to turn green.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the mandate of the posted regulatory sign.
The 'NO TURN ON RED' sign establishes a legal prohibition on making turns during a red signal phase.
Regulatory signs enforce specific rules of the road that supersede default driver permissions.
2
Determine required driver action at the red light.
The driver must remain completely stopped until the traffic light changes to green.
Stopping and checking for oncoming traffic does not grant an exemption to an explicit regulatory sign prohibiting turns.
