When is it OK to turn right on a red arrow?

Under both Washington and Oregon law, you can turn right on a solid red arrow (the same as a solid red light) provided you come to a full stop, traffic is clear, and it’s safe to do so, unless there’s a sign posted that prohibits it. That’s true even in situations where there are two lanes turning right. It’s also OK to turn left on a red arrow when you’re turning onto a one-way street.

Turns on red require an extra​ dose of caution. You’ll want to double check for bicyclists and pedestrians who may not be expecting your turn.

And if you encounter a (fairly rare) flashing red arrow? Treat it the same as you would a stop sign.
