No Right Turn on Red Signal?

[delarosa]

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!

[Bravoexo]

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

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...

ito rin ang alam kong tama . at tama rin si nugundam na monkey republic ang makati kasi yung mayor monkey

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.

[coiter]

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.

[nugundam93]

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

[delarosa]

Hi Fast Eddie, nag complete stop ako since may car sa harap ko na huminto, tapos tumabi for me to pass. Ang sabi kasi sa akin, no right turn on red signal all the time. Even if mag complete stop ka, then make a right turn, kung red pa rin, huli pa rin yun.

langhiya, hold up na yun...siguro hintayin mo na lang nxt time hangang
mag-green para wala tiket. siguro gutom na yung parak para
makakotong ng pera para pang hapunan. sarap talaga paluin sa ulo yang
mga kotong kops na yan.

[geode]

check out the intersection of ayala and makati ave (specially ung pakanan papuntang landmark). vehicles turn right even if may red signal all the time ... unless maisipan ng mapsa na hulihin ka. the red signal is for vehicles that are going straight thru the intersection to stop. those making a right turn may make a right turn with caution. now pag may sign na "no right turn on red signal", un obviously stop ka talaga nun.

[mazdamazda]

no right turn on red signal... kapag may incoming traffic lang dun sa lane na un (coming from your left side... or the opposite lane turning left).

ogags naman kung manghuhuli pa ng ganyan habang walang dumadaan sa lane na un.

[the_wildthing]

Pangatlong thread na yata ito. Ireklamo mo kaya. Iniiba nila ang batas hindi naman nila ina-announce.

[bajumbo]

kaya ako kapag red.. stop na lang... unless ipa go ako nung enforcer.

[StraightSix]

From the Land Transportation Office website.

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.

Pero naiintindihan ko kung ayaw makipagtalo ng mga kababayan natin. Alam nyo naman mga alipores lang yan ... monkey-see, monkey-do.

[bunge]

Sa may pa-right turn ng Paseo galing Makati Ave. meron ding mga tinamaan ng magagaleng na enforcer, nadale na din ako doon. Kaya ngayon pag dadaan ako doon, hinihintay ko talaga mag-green ang signal kahit na sandamukal na mga ogags ang bumubusina sa likuran ko, pakialam ko sa kanila, di naman lisensya nila ang makukumpiska. Pag nasa Makati tayo, magsanay na tayo ng LEISURE DRIVING, hehehe

[nugundam93]

dapat sa ganyang sitwasyon pala, iprint natin yung info sa link provided ni straightsix at kung hulihin ng mapsa, ipakita sa kanila at kung ayaw pa rin, ipakain sa kanila yung printout.

nakakapika kasi talaga ang arrogance ng mga mapsa na yan (sure, may mga matitino but I HAVEN'T SEEN ONE YET and almost 2 years na ako working sa makati), palibhasa yung pinaka-boss nila na si binay ay ganun din. powertrip amfuts. tamaan sana kayo ng kidlat at nang matauhan kayo!

[afrasay]

puede mo silang balikan with the LTO rules with you. you should've argued your case. kung ayaw nila sa cityhall na kayo mag usap. Makati City should've have been rename to Republic of Makati because this city has its own rules and regulations.
