Florida Right of Way & Turn Rules

In Florida, when turning right on a red light, you must yield to:

By DMV Master Editorial Team Updated Verified against F.S. §316.075(1)(c)
A

Only oncoming traffic.

Pedestrians have priority too.

B

Pedestrians in the crosswalk and cross traffic with the green light.

Correct answer

C

No one, if you stopped first.

Stopping first does not grant priority over cross traffic.

D

Only vehicles larger than yours.

Vehicle size does not determine priority.

Detailed Explanation

Florida allows right turns on red after a full stop, but the turning driver must yield to pedestrians crossing with their signal and to cross traffic that has the green light. Posted "No Turn on Red" signs override this default and must be obeyed.
