No Right Turn on Red Signal?

**delarosa** · June 8th, 2006 08:38 AM

Hi! Just got apprehended recently for turning right in an intersection while on red signal. I was in Paseo de Roxas turning right to Ayala Ave. I was told by MAPSA that this is illegal even with no sign not to turn right on red signal. Is this correct? Thanks!

Yes. Why couldn't you have waited for the green light?

Idiot.

If you dont know the laws, you really shouldn't be allowed to drive. Unless there is a sign or oncoming traffic/pedestrians, you are clear to turn right on red.

Take it easy, bro.

Don't expect every driver to know every law on the rule book. Remember ... you don't have to get it all correctly on the driving test, in both theory and practical, in order to pass and get a license. So having a license means you have the minimum requirements of the law to be allowed to drive.

Peace.

ang alam ko, unless may sign na no right turn on red signal, pwede ka magright turn anytime.

kaya lang monkey republic of makati ni binay yan...so they have their own rules...

I did not wait for the green light since I thought it was not illegal.

Yun din reasoning ko, since naglalagay sila sa intersection kung bawal, then pwede sa intersections with no signs. Like on the same intersection, kabilang side, paseo din pero coming from the other side , may stoplight na right arrow. Then bawal mag right unless mag green na yung right arrow.

basta red; ke red blinking light or steady red
light or red stop sign, "dapat mag STOP ka completely",
hinde rin pwede yung "rolling stop lang" then proceed
before making a right turn. siguro tuloy,tuloy kang
nag right turn siguro dahil akala mo pwede dahil walang
dumadaan sa kaliwa mo. traffic violation talaga
yun, nahuli na ako minsan sa ganun. kaya ako,
tuwing me red light or stop sign, completely stop
ako bago kumakanan or pakaliwa man kahit walang
dumadaang sasakyan.

ganun nga sa makati. medyo nakakalito. there are intersections where there are signs that say "no right turn on red signal" and there are some that don't. of course, a driver's assumption is, which is the accepted norm, that if it's not explicitly stated, then it's legal. the default is "right turn anytime with care". anyway, ganyan talaga ang mapsa. pugad ng kurakot. lalo na pagweekends. especially when turning left from buendia to paseo. sasadyain nilang ma-beating the red light ka.

delarosa, yun nga nakakainis dun. and mahirap makipagtalo sa mapsa or any galamay ni binay.

nacarnap nga yung kotse ng isang tao sa impound lot ng makati, natalo pa yung owner nung kinasuhan niya sila binay, yan pa kaya na right turn lang. grabe talaga makati
