Can you turn right on red in Pennsylvania?

I’m preparing to take my driver’s license test and I’m getting myself all nervous over it. I know the basic road rules but I feel that there are a lot of exceptions attached to certain traffic laws. For example, are you allowed to turn right on red in Pennsylvania?

The driver’s license test is a perfect recipe for nerves, but you got this! You can turn right on red in Pennsylvania, as long as there isn’t a No Turn On Red Sign posted at the traffic light.
No Turn On Red signs are common fixtures at busy intersections, but they can also be placed in residential areas where you may not expect them. Sometimes they’re positioned high up, next to the traffic light. Other times, the sign is on a stake in the ground beside the stop line, similar to where a stop sign would be.
It’s important to keep your eyes peeled for a No Turn On Red sign to avoid making an illegal turn, but even if there’s no sign present you must come to a complete stop at the red light and observe your surroundings to make sure it’s safe to turn right on red.
Running a red light is one of the most common moving violation tickets police officers issue drivers. In addition to being fined, you may also see your

rate go up if you get numerous traffic tickets. To keep your insurance costs affordable, find the best deal possible with a little help from
