Passing target: 80% (24/30)
You stop at a red light and want to turn right. No sign prohibits the turn, and no cars come from your left. A pedestrian walks up to the corner on your right and is about to cross the street in front of your car. What must you do?
A is stopped at red and plans a right turn with no prohibiting sign or approaching cross traffic. B is at A’s right-hand corner, about to enter the crosswalk directly in front of A.
Correct answer: Stay stopped and let the pedestrian cross before you turn
Why
Drivers who turn right on red often look only to the left for cars and miss a pedestrian who comes from the right. Before you turn, look left, look ahead and look right again. In North Carolina, a failure to yield to such a pedestrian is an infraction with a penalty of $100 to $500. Where a NO TURN ON RED sign is posted, wait for the green light.
