What must you do if you turn right on a red light and there is no sign prohibiting the turn?

• A. Stop completely before turning.
• B. Proceed without stopping if there is no sign.
• C. Honk at pedestrians before turning.
• D. Turn immediately if traffic is clear.

Answer: (A)

Turning right on red is allowed in many places, but you must come to a full stop first and yield to pedestrians and cross traffic. Stopping gives you a clear view of the intersection and the right-of-way rules, so you can proceed only when it’s safe. If there’s no sign prohibiting the turn, you may continue after stopping and when the way is clear. The other options skip this safety step or create risk: continuing without stopping can catch pedestrians or vehicles by surprise, honking at pedestrians is not a proper or safe cue, and turning immediately just because traffic seems clear ignores the need to verify safety. So the necessary action is to stop completely before turning.
