Hawaii Drivers Permit Practice Test

A stopped vehicle facing a circular red traffic light may turn right after what condition?

1. Only after blowing the horn.

2. When not prohibited by a traffic sign and after yielding to traffic and pedestrians.

3. Always; right turns on red are allowed.

4. It's illegal to turn right on red.

The correct answer is: When not prohibited by a traffic sign and after yielding to traffic and pedestrians.

A stopped vehicle facing a circular red traffic light may turn right when there are no prohibitive traffic signs present and the driver has yielded to all oncoming traffic and pedestrians. This means that drivers need to be alert for any signs that explicitly state turning right on red is not allowed. Additionally, before making the turn, it is crucial for the driver to ensure that the path is clear, allowing both pedestrians and other vehicles to proceed safely. This rule promotes safety by requiring drivers to be cautious and considerate of others on the road before executing a right turn.
