How should you respond to a sign indicating 'No Turn on Red' at an intersection?

• A. Turn on red if no traffic.
• B. Turn on red after honking.
• C. Continue cautiously when turning on red.
• D. Do not turn on red; wait for a green light.

Answer: (D)

When you see a sign that says No Turn on Red, you must treat red as a signal you cannot use for turning. The correct action is to come to a complete stop, yield to any traffic and pedestrians, and wait until the light turns green (or until another sign allows the turn). Honking won’t change the rule, and turning on red even with cautious intent would still violate the posted instruction. In this situation, the legal and safest move is to wait for a green light before turning.
