If you do not have a pedestrian in the crosswalk crossing Bridge Street to
yield to you can make a right-turn-on-red after a complete stop. The purpose
of the sign is to alert you to the fact that a ped may be in the crosswalk and
that you are required to yield them the right-of-way.

Subject: A Question for All
You are Stopped in the Right Turn Lane , on Bridge Street, facing CVS and
Family Dollar Store. The Overhead " YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS " is illuminated with
all traffic on Main and Bridge Streets Stopped, while a Pedestrian walks across
the East side of Main Street from the CVS entrance towards the Edward's Block.
Is it Legal for you to Turn RIGHT , westbound onto Main Street, from the Right
Turn Lane on Bridge Street, while the Overhead " YIELD TO PEDESTRIANS "
SIGN IS STILL ILLUMINATED ? OR, Are you supposed to Wait until that Overhead
Yield Sign goes out ?
I had a very Impatient Driver blowing his Vehicle Horn behind me just now.
I am writing this in my Vehicle parked in the CVS Parking Lot.
Thank You,
Dennis Marrotte
