Right turns on red are permitted in many regions of North America. Western states have allowed it for more than 50 years;[citation needed] eastern states amended their traffic laws to allow it in the 1970s as a fuel-saving measure in response to motor fuel shortages in 1973 and 1979. All 50 states, the District of Columbia, Guam, and Puerto Rico have allowed right turns on red since 1 January 1980, except where prohibited by a sign or where right turns are controlled by dedicated traffic lights. The few exceptions are in cities with populations of more than 1 million[1] (most notably New York City), where right turns on red are prohibited entirely, unless a sign indicates otherwise.
