If you are at a full and complete stop at the line in the furthest right lane you can indicate your turn, check for and yield to all other traffic (including pedestrians), and make a right turn while the light is red. You don’t have to wait for a green light when a right turn can be made safely unless a “no turn on red” sign is posted.
The catch is that when making the turn the only people who have less right of way are pretty much folks backing out of their driveways. That’s hyperbole, but you get the picture. One should use extra caution when turning right on red because if there is an accident you will probably be considered at fault.
Wow. That’s crazy. I guess we have something a bit similar in the UK. A lot of lights will have an extra light with an arrow to go left, which will turn green before the main light.
