"No right turn on red in NYC!
In every other city in the United States you are allowed to make a right turn on a red light after a full stop. However, in New York City this is illegal, unless otherwise noted by a traffic sign."

"THERE IS NO RIGHT TURN ON RED IN NYC UNLESS INDICATED BY A SIGN."

"There's no right turn on red allowed within the city limits."



Are you thinking of Westchester and Long Island, where it is legal to make a right on red unless noted by a sign?

 

You can't turn right on red in NYC because you'll run over people. I've almost gotten run over more times than i can remember because people forget that h:
