At a solid red light, you must stop completely before turning right.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Only at certain times
• D. Only when signage allows

Answer: (A)

Turning right on a red light is allowed in Alberta after you come to a complete stop, unless a sign says not to. So at a solid red signal you must stop completely, check that the way is clear, yield to pedestrians and cross-traffic, and then proceed to turn right if it’s safe and not prohibited by signage. This is exactly why the statement is true. If there’s a sign that forbids turning on red, or a red arrow indicating no turn, you must not turn.
