Can you turn right on a red light in Nebraska?

I’m heading to Nebraska next week to visit family, and I know some driving laws differ from my state. Is turning right on a red light legal in Nebraska?

Knowing the different laws in the state you’re driving in is important to avoid unnecessary citations and fines!
Yes, you can turn right on a red in Nebraska as long as there are no signs at the intersection indicating the maneuver is prohibited.
However, ensure that you’re following proper driving practices before doing so. Here’s what you need to do:
  • Bring your vehicle to a complete stop
  • Look to see if there are signs prohibiting the turn
  • Ensure the crosswalk is free of pedestrians
  • Legally yield the right-of-way until it is lawful and safe to proceed with your turn
Failing to comply with legal requirements for turning right on a red could land you a traffic infraction. The penalty is a $75 fine (plus $49 in fees) and one demerit point against your driving record.
Safe driving is the easiest way to keep your driving privileges and prevent unwanted fees and fines. But if you have accumulated points against your record, finding affordable
