Took Right Turn at Red Signal (Allowed). Cop Issued Traffic Ticket for Not Stopping

[ksampatk]

My question involves a traffic ticket from the state of: NH

Took Right turn at Red Signal (allowed). Cop issued Traffic Ticket for not stopping ?

Can I plead 'Not Guilty' ? There was no traffic at that time. I definitely slowed and checked that nobody was there and then only I turned right.

Chan is right. NH statute 265:10 (III)(f) states:

III. Steady Red Indication.
(a)....
(f) Except when the authority having jurisdiction over the intersection prohibits such a turn and a sign located at the intersection so indicates, vehicular traffic facing a steady circular red signal alone or a steady red arrow indication shall stop as required in this section and may after making such stop make a right turn if such right turn is lawful at that intersection. Such vehicular traffic shall yield the right of way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.

Next time, come to a COMPLETE stop before turning.
