Can you turn right on red in New Jersey?
My brother and I are thinking about moving to New Jersey to be closer to our aging parents. We haven’t lived in the state since we were younger than the driving age, so we’re not exactly sure about all the different driving laws. Is it possible to turn right on red in New Jersey?

Yes—you can turn right on red in New Jersey, provided that no posted sign(s) specifically prohibits you from doing so.
That said, you’ll need to follow a few simple tips and rules to ensure that you execute the turn without getting a ticket or into an accident:
- Always come to a complete stop at the painted white line shortly before the crosswalk. Then, creep forward up to the intersection before you make a right turn.
- Next, yield to any pedestrians or cyclists going through the crosswalk or intersection.
- As a final failsafe, double-check for any motorists going through the intersection, specifically to keep an eye out for any driving at a high rate of speed.
