No right turn on red light sign?

[dr. d]

May significance ba ang placement ng traffic lights? Like for example may traffic light on a post at the corner of an intersection, does it mean no right turn on red?

I recall one time when a Makati enforcer flagged me down for turning right on a red signal. There was no "no right turn on red" sign. He said something about there being a stoplight overhead (which was apparently for those crossing) and another on the corner (for right turners, I suppose) so I shouldn't have made that turn.

"hogwash."
what the law does not prohibit, it allows.

i was accosted once, for turning right at a red light.
"sir, nag-right turn kayo sa red light."
inunahan ko na ng, "oo nga. buti na lang, hindi bawal".

YES. if there is a traffic light at the corner in addition to the traffic light at the center then that is the same as having a "no right turn on red" sign.

confusing lang kasi dapat may arrow talaga yung traffic light, dapat red and green arrows pointing to the right, same as red and green arrows for left turn.

Lol kahit sa japan wala kang makikita na arrow sign sa traffic light pero kung tatawid ka sa kabilang linya (kung sa pinas mag t-turn left) ay meron sa malalaking intersection. Kaya i think its common sense nalang pero dito sa pinas nacoconfuse din ako kasi nuon huminto ako kasi red light. Pero yung mga nasa likod ko binusinahan ako lol...

[dr. d]

is it possible, the republic of makati has its own unique set of traffic rules and regulations?

May mga intersections na may raised terrain/island or whatever it can be called dun sa likong pakanan where there's a traffic light also placed there kaya hindi naman siguro necessary na porket red yung sign eh it means na you cannot turn right during the duration so magtataka sila. Mostly pag may sign na 'do not turn on red signal' eh yun susundan nila.

Makes a lot of sense. Why would they place 2 traffic lights nga no.

yes. why would they put two traffic lights, when one (at the corner) will do?

Why is the corner traffic light not placed/angled perpendicular? it's angled 45degrees facing the incoming traffic?

But then there are streets in Makati such as:
Pasay road cor. EDSA and N. Garcia (aka Reposo) cor. Buendia that have corner lights but have no "no right turn on red" signs and the enforcers themselves will even wave you to turn right.

Then there's Perea cor. Paseo de Roxas (just past Greenbelt 1) where there's a corner light AND a "no right turn on red". Wouldn't the sign be redundant?

Then there's Parkway drive (The Link) cor Makati Ave where I was flagged down for turning right on red. Corner light and no "no right turn on red" sign.

Confusing AF, right?

Hindi kaya a red stoplight on a corner is the same as a fixed STOP sign? Meaning you should make a full stop, check the road, if clear then proceed?

[yebo]

if we are to follow international road rules then there should be no confusion.

it is those makati enforcers that are confusing the rules. gawin mo ba naman implementor ng law yung wala naman alam tapod kulang pa o walang training. it is also very possible that the leadership of that organization also do not know the rules.

#1 enforcers waving you to turn right, that supercedes the traffic light restrictions,
#2 redundant? They could easily say goodness you saw the signs!
#3 are they really saying the corner light is meant for right turners?

Where were you coming from? Parkway Drive turning right into Makati Avenue?

Malas mo lang that time.

Walang consistency yang mga yan...

Mukha nga. Kaso pano mo naman kokontrahin ang enforcer sa ganung sitwasyon? Baka lalo ka lang idiin na may violation.

Nag-google rin ako ng rules regarding "turn on red" at mukhang iba-ibang city (aside from the countries themselves) may kanya-kanyang rules. Yun nga lang dito sa pinas iba-ibang enforcer, iba-iba rin ang interpretation ng batas.

Maiba lang ng konte

Kapag nakalagay lang ay "no left turn", bawal na din mag uturn?

"no left turn" is probably because the connecting road is a one way road, or maybe because so many cars do it, it causes traffic.
if there is no "no u-turn" sign, i suppose puede.

Naguguluhan ako sa intersection ng Aurora Blvd (Tramo, Pasay) at Airport road. May sign na no right turn at red pero all the time kumakanan ang mga nasa middle at rightmost lanes.

Para ma-avoid ko na lang na hindi mabusinahan, I stay on the middle lane. Kaso yung middle lane naman may arrow na for left turn only. What's more, many vehicles make right turns from the middle lane din.

Sa mga madalas dumaan don, papano diskarte nyo?

Right turn kung stop Airport road to Tramo at go left turn to Aurora ng Airport Road to T3.

Thanks. Magulo lang ilaw sa intersection na yon.

rightmost lane, stop ka if go yung cars coming from T3/airport road is green, Turn right if nag left turn na yung cars coming from Airport road/domestic Terminal.
Wag ka mabahala dun sa mga bumibisina sa iyo, sumusunod ka naman sa tamang batas.
Hindi naman sila ang magbabayad ng penalty pag nahuli ka.
