Correct answer: You may turn that way once the intersection is clear

A green arrow, even when shown with a red light, gives you the right-of-way to turn in that direction as long as the intersection is clear.

Correct answer: Come to a full stop and make sure no NO TURN ON RED sign is posted

To turn right on red you must stop completely, check that no vehicles or pedestrians are in or entering your path, confirm there is no NO TURN ON RED sign, and use the correct lane.

Correct answer: You may turn after a full stop if the path is clear and no sign prohibits it

Indiana allows a left turn on red from a one-way street onto a one-way street, after a full stop, when the path is clear, there is no NO TURN ON RED sign, and you use the correct lanes.

Correct answer: The car on your right; the vehicle on the left yields

A flashing red light works like a stop sign. When two vehicles arrive at the same time, the vehicle on the left yields to the one on the right.

Correct answer: Only when a pedestrian has activated it

Rectangular rapid flashing beacons are used at crosswalks and flash only when activated by a pedestrian, so expect someone to be crossing when you see them flashing.

Correct answer: Stop and stay stopped while pedestrians cross

Two steady red lights on a pedestrian hybrid beacon are shown while the pedestrian crosses, so drivers must stop and remain stopped.

Correct answer: Proceed through only if the crosswalk is clear of pedestrians

The alternating flashing red lights let drivers proceed through if the crossing is clear of pedestrians; the beacon then goes dark until activated again.

Stop at the solid white stop line. If there is none, stop before entering the crosswalk on your side; if there is no crosswalk, stop before entering the intersection.

Correct answer: Stop first, then go with caution after yielding to those with the right-of-way

At a non-operating signal, stop first. Then yield to cross-traffic already in the intersection, vehicles that stopped before you, a vehicle that arrived at the same time on your right, and pedestrians.
