Explanation
When you encounter a circular red traffic light while driving, you must to come to a complete stop. After stopping, you are allowed to make a right turn, but only after yielding to any pedestrians, bicyclists, or vehicles that were already present. However, if there is a "NO TURN ON RED" sign displayed, you must not make a right turn and should wait for the green signal instead.
