Turn On Red

Before the 70s a right turn on red was always prohibited. But when gas was in short supply, traffic officials believed that allowing a right turn on red would save on gas. Now most cities allow right turns on red at most intersections. Exceptions to the right turn on red include: At intersections where there is poor visibility. At busy intersections. At intersections where a high number of wrecks have occurred because of wrecks. Intersections where a right turn on red is not allowed are marked with a sign that says "no turn or red." If you violate the law, you could be pulled over and ticketed. Fines range from $25 to $200 depending on where you live. You may also see a sign that says "right turn on red after stop." You must come to a complete stop and look for oncoming traffic before making a right turn on red.
