Can you turn right on red in Rhode Island?
I’m moving to Providence in a few weeks for my job. I’ve never been before, so I’m pretty excited! However, I always like to learn the rules of the road when I move to a new state. Is it legal to turn right on red in Rhode Island?

Yes—you’re allowed to legally turn right on red in Rhode Island as long as no signs prevent you from explicitly doing so. You may see more one-way streets in Providence than anywhere else in the state, so keep a watchful eye for signs prohibiting right-hand turns on red.
In the meantime, brush up on your safety tips for making a right turn on red:
- Come to a complete stop at the white line before the crosswalk or intersection.
- Yield to all motorists, pedestrians, and cyclists going through the intersection.
- Creep forward to the intersection.
- Double-check to ensure that no other motorists, cyclists, or pedestrians have entered the intersection.
- If the coast is clear, go ahead and make the right turn on red.
