No, it is not illegal to make a right turn at a red light. As long as you are at the curb of the sidewalk when turning right into the flow of traffic, it is not illegal. However, if you are in the lane waiting to go straight, and then want to suddenly turn right, then it would be illegal.

Do you have to turn right at a red light where you are allowed to?

No, you are not required to turn right at a red light where it is permitted. You have the option to either turn right after stopping and ensuring it is safe or to remain stopped and proceed when the light turns green. Always check for pedestrians and oncoming traffic before making the turn.


Is 'no right turn on red a law that applies to all red lights or just specified posted lights'?

Generally, a red light means "stop," but in many cities, it is permitted to make a right turn on red, with caution, if it is safe to do so (no other cars are coming). But as you have noticed, there are exceptions. If you see a sign that says "no right turn on red," that means that specific red light requires a full stop, and you may not make a right turn until the light changes to green. In other words, if you do not see any signs, you generally are allowed to make a right turn on red. If you do see a sign, you are not allowed to make a right turn on red.
