How should you yield when turning right at a red light?

When turning right at a red light, it's essential to yield to all pedestrians. This means that before completing your turn, you must ensure that there are no pedestrians crossing the intersection or attempting to cross in your path. Pedestrians have the right of way, and failing to yield to them can result in accidents and legal consequences.

While vehicles and bicycles may also have rights on the road, the priority is always given to pedestrians, particularly in crosswalks. A driver is expected to come to a complete stop at the red light and look for pedestrians before making the turn, ensuring their safety. This rule is designed to protect vulnerable road users, as they are more susceptible to injury in the event of a collision with a vehicle.

In this situation, yielding only to vehicles or bicycles does not prioritize pedestrian safety, and claiming that there’s no need to yield would disregard important traffic laws meant to protect all road users.
