For people who don't live in North America: If you're at a stop, you follow a "free right" rule where you're allowed to go right even if the traffic lights are red, but as long as there aren't pedestrians crossing.
I can see the free-right policy also being a major factor in this as well but I don't see it mentioned.
- jonemo 13y agoWhat most people in North America seem to conveniently forget about this rule: You have to come to a stop first. Another piece of trivia about free right: In all of New York the free right is allowed as long as no "No turn on red" is posted. In New York City, however, the free right is prohibited unless a "right turn on red" sign is posted. In Germany the NYC-style free right exists, with a small sign showing a green arrow on black background indicates that free right is allowed.
