Does this signal permit a right turn at the intersection?
Show the correct answer
Correct answer
NO
Explanation
In the video, we are approaching a junction with a pedestrian crossing; a red signal is lit on the traffic lights at the right edge and on those hanging above the roadway, and sign D-1 can be seen nearby. This signal does not permit a right turn at the junction - the answer is NO.
A red signal shown by traffic lights S-1 means that you must not go beyond the traffic lights - in any direction, including to the right. A right turn on a red light is possible only when an additional green arrow pointing right is lit next to the traffic lights; you must then stop first and let other road users through. There is no such arrow at this junction, so you stop before the stop line and wait for the green signal. Sign D-1 does not matter here, because light signals take priority over signs that regulate the right of way.
