Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are driving in Brooklyn and stop at a steady red light. You want to turn right. You see no sign about turns on red. What should you do?
In Brooklyn, A is stopped before a circular red light and intends to turn right. No sign allowing a turn on red is present.
Correct answer: Wait for the green light, because no sign allows a turn on red
Why
State law allows turns on red only outside cities of one million people or more, which in New York means outside New York City. So the usual statewide rule does not apply there. Where a sign does allow a turn on red, you must still stop fully and yield to pedestrians and traffic.
