When is it permissible to make a right turn on red in Texas?

In Texas, making a right turn on red is permissible after the driver has come to a complete stop at the red light and ensured that it is safe to turn. This means checking for oncoming traffic, pedestrians, and any other potential hazards before proceeding with the turn. The law requires that the driver gives the right-of-way to all other vehicles and pedestrians that may be affected by the turn. This rule is in place to promote safety and prevent accidents at intersections where turning on red is allowed.

While signs may indicate restrictions (which makes the first option relevant), the primary rule remains that a complete stop and a safe turn are required. General assumptions about personal judgment regarding safety (as suggested in the third option) do not adhere to the laws governing traffic. The idea that the turn is only allowed during daylight hours (as mentioned in the last option) does not reflect the actual regulation; the law applies at all times unless specifically restricted by a sign.
