Learn how to turn right on a red light to pass your road test – watch the video. SUBSCRIBE TODAY! ► https://youtube.com/c/smartdrivetest
You can turn right at a red light so long as there aren’t signs prohibiting such action. Do NOT turn contrary to a sign that prohibits right hand turns on a red light.
When turning right at a red light, you must stop at the correct stopping position. For most intersections that are equipped with traffic lights, there will be both a STOP line and a crosswalk. Stop your vehicle just before the STOP line. When you approach the intersection, allow the STOP line to just roll under the front of the vehicle. At that point come to a complete stop. You know the vehicle is completely stopped because the body will settle back and come to a rest over the frame of the vehicle – see this video for compete stops: https://youtu.be/NuxBYfI2rhs
If you just arrived at the red light, and the traffic on the other side of the intersection is turning left, that usually means that that traffic has an advanced green turning arrow. If so, the left turning traffic has the right-of-way, and you must wait for the left-turning traffic before you can proceed and turn right on the red light.
Before turn right on a red light, give the right-of-way to all other road users – pedestrians, cyclists, scooters and whatnot.
After coming to a complete stop, you will most likely have to creep forward to be able to see the cross traffic. Continue to scan, and immediately before turning, do a shoulder (head) check to ensure that there aren’t any pedestrians or cyclists in your blind spot on the right side of the vehicle.
Also be sure to scan thoroughly for cyclist and riders on motorcycles.
When the way is clear and you have given the right-of-way to all other road users, you can proceed. Turn the corner and look into your intended path of travel. And accelerate the vehicle to the posted speed limit or the flow of traffic; whichever is less as quickly as possible.
If there is a bicycle lane on the right that has a solid white line–and there isn’t a right-hand turning lane, do not squeeze over there to turn right. On a road test, that will incur major demerits and could potentially cause you to fail.
Good luck on your road test!
