Question

Difficulty: EasyRegulatory Signs

A white rectangular regulatory sign with the text 'NO TURN ON RED' permits a motorist to turn right at a steady red signal after bringing the vehicle to a complete stop and yielding to cross traffic and pedestrians.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is false. A 'NO TURN ON RED' regulatory sign strictly prohibits turning during the red light phase under any circumstances.
The statement is false because the posted 'NO TURN ON RED' sign legally restricts all turning movements while the traffic signal displays a red light, even after a full stop.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the function of the posted regulatory sign.
The white rectangular sign reading 'NO TURN ON RED' establishes an explicit prohibition.
Regulatory signs inform drivers of specific legal requirements and traffic restrictions.
2
Evaluate the driver's legal duty at a red light when this sign is present.
Drivers must remain stopped until the signal changes to green.
The sign overrides the standard rule that allows turning right on red after stopping and yielding.
