Question 4601

In this situation, what must you do if you intend to turn right?

  1. Continue driving, yielding the right-of-way to vehicles traveling on the cross street.
  2. Ignore the traffic light.
  3. Stop before entering the intersection.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Stop before entering the intersection.

When the traffic light is on the far side of the intersection, as in the image, its red light requires you to stop before entering the intersection, at the stop line if there is one. A red light without an arrow prohibits all movements, including right turns, so you must wait for green even if no one is coming. You must not ignore it or turn after yielding.
