At a solid red light, you may turn right:

After a complete stop, unless a sign prohibits it

Without stopping if the road is clear

Never — right turns on red are illegal in California

As you approach a roundabout, who must you yield to before entering?

Vehicles already circulating inside the roundabout

Vehicles waiting to enter from the opposite side

Only pedestrians, not other vehicles
