When is it legal to turn right on red?

Turning right on red is allowed in many places after you come to a complete stop and only if the way is clear and there’s no sign forbidding it. The key steps are to stop fully at the stop line, look for pedestrians and oncoming traffic, and yield to anyone with the right of way. If there’s no sign that says you can’t turn and the cross traffic is not moving, you may turn right and proceed with caution. You don’t need a green light or any special permit for this common rule; there are intersections where turning on red is prohibited by signs, and in those cases you must wait.
