Red means stop with no exceptions unless there's a green arrow pointing right telling you to turn.

What it means is the stop and if no there's traffic from the left then you can go. But you stop first. As a teacher I used to have would say "Stop wook and wisten" .

Why: To keep traffic moving. You can turn right on Red if, There are no pedestrians in the crosswalk, There are no on coming cars from the left, The left turn lane on the the opposite side does not have a green arrow, There is no sign prohibiting a right hand turn on red, and There is no green right arrow. A green right arrow indicate no right turn on red.

7-13-2017 But you asked why. It is because the federal government wants consistent driving laws in all states, and they decreed that right on red after stopping is ok unless there is some reason to forbid it.

mushroom There are jurisdictions that do not permit ROR. Made me feel stupid when I first began driving in a place that did not restrict it, not to mention annoying the drivers behind me.
