Explanation
When facing a red arrow, you are not allowed to make a turn in the direction indicated by the arrow, even if the intersection is clear and you have stopped. On the other hand, a solid red light indicates a complete stop. You may turn right after coming to a full stop and ensuring the intersection is clear of conflicting traffic.
