Question on traffic signal in california?

Question

hi

in an intersection, if you are making a right turn....but there is a red light (not the one on the intersection, but the one that is when you turn right)....in such case, should i wait for the red to change green or should i just stop and go...the reason am asking this is because, i know we have a free right,,but there is no sign that says STOP or STOP ON RED but only the red signal..... and this is in california... please clarify

Answer 1

Red means stop.  It's not a free right, although you may make a right turn after stopping.  Unless the red light is an arrow, or there's a sign prohibiting the right turn on red, in which case the right turn on red is illegal.
