Can you turn right on red in Massachusetts?
I recently moved to the suburbs outside of Boston from out west and I’m terrified of getting a ticket! I feel like traffic laws should be the same everywhere, but they’re not. Can I even turn right on red in Massachusetts?

Congratulations on your recent move, and try not to worry too much about getting a ticket! Thankfully, Massachusetts has laws following the general rules of the road—meaning it’s legal to turn right on red unless a posted sign prohibits it. As long as you’re a safe driver, you don’t have to worry about paying more for your
car insurance in Massachusetts
due to a ticket.In fact, you can even turn left on red in Massachusetts as long as you’re going from a one-way to another one-way. But keep an eye out for posted traffic signs—these signs overrule the general rules of the road and may forbid making any turn on a red light. If you violate a sign, you could find yourself with a ticket.
If traffic tickets have raised your
car insurance
rates, you have ways of lowering your rates again. Besides going to traffic school or waiting for your violations to expire, you can shop for a new policy with the Jerry
app. Jerry is a licensed insurance broker
committed to helping you save an average of $800 per year or more—now that’s awesome!View full answer
