What is the rule for right turns on red in New York?

• A. Right turns on red are allowed after a full stop unless signs prohibit or there is a red arrow.
• B. Right turns on red are never allowed.
• C. Right turns on red require a green arrow.
• D. Right turns on red are allowed without stopping.

Answer: (A)

Right turns on red are allowed in New York after you come to a full stop and yield to pedestrians and other traffic. This stays true unless a sign says no turn on red or there’s a red arrow at the signal, in which case you may not turn. You must only proceed when the intersection is clear and safe, and you must stop first to check for pedestrians and vehicles with the right of way. Turning on red without stopping isn’t allowed, and you don’t need a green arrow to do it—you turn only if there’s no prohibition and it’s safe after stopping.
