Abstract
An indicator used to alert a driver that turning right is impermissible when a traffic light is illuminated red, where the indicator is part of a component in the vehicle, such as the instrument cluster, radio, lamp, or the like. The information regarding the local traffic law directed to turning right when the traffic signal is illuminated red is obtained through a detection device, such as the vehicle'"'"'s GPS system, a camera, or the like. The driver is informed that turning right at an upcoming intersection is allowed or impermissible, improving the flow of traffic due to drivers having knowledge when turning right is permissible, and not waiting at the intersection when unsure of the local traffic ordinance. If turning on red is impermissible, the driver is informed of this traffic ordinance, and refrains from making a right turn, thus avoiding committing a traffic violation.
