Can you turn right on red in California?
I’m moving to Sacramento with my fiance next month. However, I’ve never driven in the state before. Whenever I move, I like to learn the basic driving laws within the state. Is it legal to turn right on red in California?

Yes—you can turn right on red in California unless a sign explicitly prohibits a right turn on red at a stop light or intersection.
Before you make that right turn, you need to follow a few tips to execute the turn successfully without getting a ticket or in an accident:
- Always come to a complete stop.
- Yield to any pedestrians or cyclists within the crosswalk.
- Double-check for other motorists before you turn, just in case another car is traveling at a high rate of speed.
Since you’re moving to Sacramento, the state requires you to get
California car insurance
within 30 days of establishing residency. So make sure to shop around for an affordable policy with the Jerry
