Wyoming’s 2025 traffic rules continue to allow drivers to make a right turn on a red light after coming to a complete stop, provided no sign specifically prohibits such a turn. According to Wyoming statutes, a motorist facing a steady red signal may cautiously enter the intersection and turn right after fully stopping behind the crosswalk or limit line and ensuring the way is clear of pedestrians and other traffic. Drivers must yield the right-of-way to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians when making this maneuver.
Additionally, Wyoming permits left turns on a red light but only when turning from one one-way street onto another one-way street, and only after coming to a complete stop and confirming it is safe. This left turn on red is less common but lawful in those specific conditions.
The key with right turn on red in Wyoming is caution and compliance with posted signs. If there is a sign prohibiting turning right on red at an intersection, drivers must obey it. Failure to stop fully before turning can result in citations for running a red light or failure to yield. Red light violations are misdemeanors under Wyoming law and can involve fines or, in severe cases, more serious charges if the violation leads to an accident.
Wyoming law allows right turns on red after a full stop unless otherwise signed, and it also permits left turns on red from one one-way street onto another. Drivers must exercise caution, yield appropriately, and comply with signs to avoid violations under the 2025 updated traffic rules.
