Stop on Red
In Nevada, the main reason for all the unsafe driving at intersections is simple: people are in a hurry. And sometimes it costs them their life. In just 5 years…
Know the Facts
Know the Law
You can turn right on a red light after coming to a full stop, unless otherwise posted. You must be in the extreme right-hand lane and yield to pedestrians and all traffic moving through the intersection.
For left turns, more and more intersections have flashing yellow arrows. Here’s how they work:
-
When flashing, a vehicle can cautiously enter an intersection only to make the turn indicated by the arrow, but the driver must first yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, then proceed with caution.
-
After it flashes, the yellow arrow becomes steady (non-flashing) or a green arrow. Treat the steady yellow arrow just like a standard yellow light—prepare to stop or safely clear the intersection before the red light appears.
