Florida Practice Regulatory Signs

A No Turn on Red regulatory sign is posted at an intersection with a traffic light. What does it require?

  1. A.
    You must wait for the green signal before turning right or left. Correct
  2. B.
    You must yield to pedestrians before turning on the red light.
  3. C.
    You may turn right on red after coming to a complete stop.
  4. D.
    You may still turn left on red from a one-way onto a one-way.
The Why

The answer is "You must wait for the green signal before turning right or left."

A No Turn on Red sign bans turns during the entire red phase; drivers wait for green before turning either direction. Falling back on Florida's general right-on-red-after-stop rule leads to choice C, missing that this sign is posted as its specific override.

Why the others miss

The traps in the wrong answers

B. You must yield to pedestrians before turning on the red light.

A pedestrian-only yield would not be captured by the No Turn on Red sign, which bans the turn outright. This answer reads the sign as a pedestrian yield rather than a full ban on turning.

C. You may turn right on red after coming to a complete stop.

No Turn on Red overrides the general right-on-red-after-stop rule at the intersection where it is posted. This answer leans on the general right-on-red-after-stop rule and misses this sign's specific override.

D. You may still turn left on red from a one-way onto a one-way.

The sign bans turns in both directions during the red phase; no one-way exception is written in. This answer half-recalls a left-on-red exception and imagines this sign carves it into place.
