Q: Can you turn on red at the light at the I-81 north exit for Taft Road? There are signs that say wait for green light to turn right. There's no sign that says no turn on right. Thank you.

A: The quick answer is no. The Onondaga County Sheriff’s Office and the New York State Department of Transportation were very fast in response to this question. The combination of the signal and the sign controls your move. The restriction is to do with skew with Taft Road and the limited sight distance for eastbound traffic turning left to I-81 southbound. When there are signs at intersections like this, they are only a reminder of this since most motorists forget or just don’t know.

Wishing you miles of smiles!
