In Wyoming, may you turn right at a steady red light?
- A Yes, without stopping, if no one is coming
- B No, right turns on red are illegal in Wyoming
- C Yes, after stopping and yielding, unless a sign prohibits it
- D Only between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m.
Show answer
C. Yes, after stopping and yielding, unless a sign prohibits it
You may turn right at a red light after stopping behind the stop line or crosswalk and yielding to people and vehicles, unless a sign prohibits it. The stop gives you time to check for pedestrians in the crosswalk.

When does Wyoming allow a left turn on a steady red light?
- A From a one-way street onto a one-way street, after stopping and yielding
- B From a two-way street onto a one-way street, after stopping
- C Never; only right turns are allowed on red
- D From any street, if there is a left-turn lane
Show answer
A. From a one-way street onto a one-way street, after stopping and yielding
After stopping and yielding, you may turn left on red from a one-way street onto another one-way street. That turn does not cross oncoming traffic, which is why it is allowed like a right on red.

- B At least 50 feet
- C At least 200 feet
- D At least 500 feet

How do you give a hand signal for a right turn?
- A Left arm straight out, pointing to the left
- B Left arm out, pointing down from the elbow
- C Left arm out with the hand and arm pointing straight up from the elbow
- D Right arm out the passenger window, pointing right
Show answer
C. Left arm out with the hand and arm pointing straight up from the elbow
Hand signals are given with your left arm. For a right turn the arm points up from the elbow, for a left turn it goes straight out, and to slow or stop it points down. Drivers behind you can see your left arm out the window.
