Am I Committing A Traffic Violation when ...

[RafRaf]

From LTO Website http://www.lto.gov.ph/traffic1.html

III. Traffic Signals
# RED SIGNAL
Unless a sign indicates otherwise, a right turn may be made on a red signal or from a one-way street to a one-way street provided the vehicle is first brought to a stop, and always subject to the right of way of pedestrians and other traffic.

I keep a copy of this list (http://www.lto.gov.ph/fines2.html#v1) in the car. So when needed, I can check the violation I am accused of against this document. Kung wala dito, I would politely contest the allegation.

katwiran nila "keep the intersection open".

Yung yellow box with X... yes, definitely it means keep the intersection open. So kahit green na pero hindi umuusad ang traffic sa other end dapat maghintay muna at huwag haharangan ang daan. Actually, I think dapat kahit wala ng yellow box dapat hindi talaga hinaharangan ang intersection. Lalong traffic lang ang dulot nito... just like counter-flow.

--- there is no sign saying NO RIGHT TURN ON RED SIGNAL.

go ahead basta be careful dahil talo ka pag nagkaroon ng collision.

same as no u-turn sign, pag wala, pwede. ganun din ingat dahil pag

nasalpok ka ng incoming vehicle talo ka rin. me isa pa silang dialogue:

DELIKADO YAN, MAKAKA DISGRASYA KA N'YAN, SABAY HINGI NG

LISENSYA. naku naloko na :naughty2: :naughty2:

Mga sir ito naman tanong ko. Driving along EDSA ext from Taft Ave towards Roxas Blvd, I'm always on the left side kasi iwas sa mga jeep and bus na nagloload and unload.Pag dating sa mga U-TURN slots I swerve to the next lane as it narrows. Mga 3 to 4 slots siguro yung ganun. Pagdating sa me Roxas Blvd. pina flag down ako nung trffic enforcer. Pero hindi ko pinapansin.Twice na nangyari sa kin to. Me mali ba sa ginagawa ko? Kasi if I stay sa middle all thru out, kina cut cut ako ng mga PUB and PUJ. Hope you can enlighten me on this. Tnx.

Ganyan din nangyari sakin sa Buendia and hinuli ako swerving daw. Syempre kung PUJ yan e hindi nila huhulihin pero dahil private, source of funds hehe. Siguro to be on the safe side, stay ka na lang in the middle if not in the right portion of the road. Lalo na dyan sa section na yan malawak kalsada and obvious kung lumilipat ka ng lane from left to right. Anticipate na lang na malapit na yung U-turn slot.

One good example can be seen along Araneta Ave. cor. E. Rodriguez. I usually see a couple of yellow officers waiting for motorists (cabs and MC) to make a right on E. Rod from Araneta.

I made sure after seeing all this to look for the sign that says I can't make a right turn on red light, but I don't think it's there.

So there ya go. Ipaglaban!

no sign = no violation.

tayo ba pag walang pera, pwede ba tayo magdahilan para di magbayad ng buwis? that's nuts, the government can't provide a sign because they're busy corrupting our hard-earned money!

go lang basta be courteous sa naka go at be careful in turning right.
also, be patient with them TOs, they always think sila ang tama.

To the threadstarter, may offense ka kung kumanan ka at hindi ka nagyield or pinagbigyan iyong mga kotse na naka green.

May mga ogag kasi na naka red sila at sige pa rin ang kanan maski alam nilang alanganin eh. Hindi naman sila iyong nasa right of way.

Anyway again, pwede ka kumanan basta ba malinis ang daan at pinagbibigyan mo iyong nasa right of way.

When in doubt..don't turn right on red.

[badsekktor]

minsan meron din talagang nangongotong lang.... i have encountered some traffic enforcers dun sa may a. bonifacio after turning right from c3. pinapara ba naman ako! sa isip-isip ko lang eh di ko malaman kung ano violation ko since kakaliko ko lang and imposible na may makita sila na violation sa kin maliban na lang kung bawal mag right turn dun pero impossible na walang right turn dun dahil may breakaway lane so hindi ako huminto

[maykel]

buti na lang nakuha sa magandang pakikipagusap na walang lagay.

swerte ka pa din sir at nakuha sa magandang usapan na walang money involved.

pag buwayang pulis kasi, with or without violation huhulihin ka pag trip nila

The yellow box at intersections do not always extend towards the corners... at those corners where they don't touch where a car can clearly fit through the gap between the yellow box corner and the sidewalk corner....then it is clear to turn right on red. (of course considerations on clear traffic etc...) It's the same system in the US.

[banks3]

Update: Apparently, there is a little sign on Araneta Ave./E. Rodriguez that says that one can not make a right turn on red. It's sort of hidden behind a light post. Watch out.

I turn right on a an intersection while the traffic light is still red ?
--- i have already stopped ... and let the vehicles pass through the intersection since they have the green light.
--- there is no sign saying NO RIGHT TURN ON RED SIGNAL.

katuwiran ko sa Traffic police , wala namang NO RIGHT TURN ON RED SIGNAL sign

katuwiran nya naman ay hindi kaya ng gobyerno na mag lagay ng mga signs sa lahat na intersection.

buti na lang nakuha sa magandang pakikipagusap na walang lagay.

Bobo naman yung Traffic Police. Hindi naman pwede na ang listahan ng traffic regulations like 'No Right Turn', 'No U Turn' ay ilalagay sa libro at babasahin ng mga motorista upang malaman kung 'No Right Turn on Red Light' ba ang kalye na ito. Ang traffic signs ay ilalagay mismo sa actual na location. Kung hindi kayang lagyan ng gobyerno then hindi mo mapa-enforce. It's unfair to the motorists.

[3ple4]

I don't believe na walang pondo ang gobyerno. Ang lalaki ng mga pork barrel ng mga senador at kongresista tapos sasabihing walang pondo. Ano ba naman mag-allocate sila para sa mga street signs. Tsaka siguro malaki din naka-allocate na fund para sa mga mayors.

Question... sino ba talaga ang namamahala sa mga street signs? Mayors? DPWH? LTO? DOTC?

Yap pag may yellow box sa intersection, di talagang pwedeng mag-right turn pag red yung traffic light.

[egban]

Is there a traffic violation if the vehicle is on an area between the pedestrian lane and the yellow box during a 'red' (or stop) light instance in an intersection? In other words, the vehicle is on a part of the road where no markings whatsoever are being stepped on by the vehicle. It just so happens that in between the pedestrian lane and the yellow box, there is a space enough for a vehicle to fit in.

lolz!!!

nangyari na rin yan sa kin, sa kanto ng ayala sa may convergys kumanan ako pa-Ayala kahit red, pero inantay ko naman na wala ng sasakyan na dadaan, pag kanan ko me dalawang kodiak bears na nakaturo sa kin kumakaway kinawayan ko rin sabay gitna (me harang dun na dilaw divider) sabay deretso, wala namang motor eh. tatlo kaming kumanan, ako lang kinakawayan. AFAIK, wala akong violation, walang sign na no right turn on red(kahit yung me oras pa ng effectivity ng rule wala).

haha nice one

mga loko yun
