I’m moving to Milwaukee with my husband soon. I’m excited to go to a new place, but I don’t want to ruin my initial adventure by getting a traffic ticket. Is it legal to turn right on red in Wisconsin?

Congrats on the new beginning! Milwaukee is a great town and Wisconsin as a whole is underrated, just so long as you don’t get a traffic ticket right out of the gate. The good news is that you can always turn right on red in Wisconsin as long as no sign prohibits it.
Before you make the turn, however, follow a few of these simple safety tips:
Make sure that you stop at the white line before the intersection.
Once you make a complete stop, inch forward toward the intersection.
Pay careful attention and yield to all pedestrians and bicyclists.
When you’re ready to make the turn, double-check again to make sure that no other cars, people, or bikes have entered the intersection.
