From 2020, the enforcement of right-turning at crosswalks has been strengthened. If you don’t know the standards, you get confused every time you turn right while driving. As of 2022, when making a right turn on a road with a crosswalk, we will inform you about the normal driving method that does not get caught in each situation.
1. When the first crosswalk traffic light is green
First – crosswalk – turn right 횡단보도 우회전 단속
The blue car is turning right. Crosswalk traffic lights are green. Of course, the traffic lights are red.
In this case, of course, you must stop at the stop line. If the crosswalk traffic light is green but no one is crossing, it is a traffic violation. If there is a police, will there be a crackdown? 좋은뉴스
In the past, if there were no people crossing, there were many vehicles passing by. The Enforcement Rules of the Road Traffic Act stipulates that if there are no people, you can pass at a slow speed. However, according to the Supreme Court precedent, the situation is viewed as a signal violation. In other words, you can’t just pass without people.
At this time, there is a driver who keeps screaming from behind even though the light hasn’t changed yet. If you turn right because you notice a car behind you or cross the stop line and get caught, only you will write.
2. When the second crosswalk traffic light is green
Second – crosswalk – turn right
In the first situation, the crosswalk signal changes to red, and while turning right, the green light at the second crosswalk is on. Most people confuse this situation. What should I do?
If the second crosswalk traffic light is red, stop at the stop line, then go slowly and turn right.
If the second crosswalk traffic light is green and there are no people, stop at the stop line and then drive slowly and turn right.
If the second crosswalk traffic light is green and a person is crossing, stop at the stop line, and when the person crosses completely onto the sidewalk, slow down and turn right.
Driving according to the above three methods is the correct way to turn right. Failure to comply with these three rules is a violation of the duty to protect pedestrians and is subject to crackdown. If a ticket is removed for violating the duty to protect pedestrians, a fine of 60,000 won for passenger cars and 70,000 for vans and 10 demerit points will be imposed.
If this pedestrian protection duty is violated 2 or 3 times, the premium will be increased by 5%, and for 4 or more times, a 10% premium will be applied. If you go fast for a while, you risk both the risk of an accident and the risk of fines.
I learned how to make a right turn in each situation. If you can’t even remember this, the simplest way is to stop unconditionally when you meet the stop line. If someone is there, stop and wait. Easy, right? Always drive safely.
