Right turn on a red on a dedicated right turn lane

[Metron]

It's Socal, so there are no pedestrians.

In Texas dedicated right turn lanes like this also exist, but they are always marked with a Yield sign. The far right lane of the main road is marked with a "No right turn" sign, since a dedicated right turn lane exists.

I use one daily on my commute to work.

Invariably on a green light, some driving noob will STOP in the dedicated right turn lane to wait for traffic that has no chance of coming.

The sign says "Yield," not "GIVE UP!"

I am amazed that your CVS is so tiny it fits on an island on an intersection...

In the OP's example, he doesn't have to merge... it has its own dedicated lane!

Full speed turn with caution for pedos!

...

uncheck "show labels" to see it more clearly

Thanks, didn't notice that.

In California, and I asked this during my driving school. I asked this during behind the wheel training, and I stopped, but the guy told me "No, it's a yield. Go." To confirm this I did it with my parents when we were practicing and a cop was there. My parents screamed thinking I'd get a ticket. The cop didn't do a thing. I believe it's a yield.

Only if you have a dedicated turn lane with a concrete triangle thing though... Otherwise you STOP.

OK, in this road that OP is referring to, the right turn does indeed have it's own dedicated lane. So you yield, if there is a pedestrian who is crossing - but you don't have to stop. Not many of those are found, probably in highways with 3-4 lanes each side.

I saw a few of these today. I believe 2 of them had no signs, or dedicated lanes. both are clearly yields.

There was another, no dedicated lane, and it specifically had signs and a line to stop at. It said right turn on red, after stop. This was a T intersection, the turn was to get onto the long portion

iono where you guys live but this is quite common where i'm from. it's not so common in more urban areas which rely on street parking, but typical 2-3 lane streets with a dedicated bike lane from my neighborhood usually have dedicated turn lanes. i zip right through and just like the other poster said "there are no pedestrians in socal." Exactly. If you want to take the bus here, you wait 30 minutes. I see more buses in college in 1 day than I do 3 months here at home (maybe an exaggeration). But yes, you're supposed to yield

Their entire purpose in life is to improve traffic flow...
They allow a rolling merge instead of a stopped merge (right on red).

Red light camera in front of roosevelt field mall (large mall here) gets everyone in that situation. They see a clear turning lane with turning lines and a stop light but the red light camera is also sitting there earning $75 a pop. You must stop first no matter how inviting it looks.
