Gloucester Township Police Traffic Safety Tip: No Turn on Red

The Gloucester Township Police Department issued the following tip as part of its ongoing traffic safety tips of the month: 

Right Turn on Red

Unless a “No Turn on Red” sign is posted, New Jersey law 39:4-115, authorizes a right turn on a red light after a motorist comes to a full stop and checks for traffic. A motorist must yield to all oncoming traffic and pedestrians before turning right at a red light.  Difficult to see vehicles, such as bicycles and mopeds, may have a green light, so it is important for a motorist to be aware of their presence. Always use a proper turn signal at least 100 feet before making any turn and cancel the signal after completing the turn.
