Reply to comment by SKOLorion in After over 2 decades here, today is my last full day living in this beautiful state. In farewell, I leave you with the most useless street sign in the state. If you know of one that's more pointless, prove it! by saytn

Yes, you are correct. My way of thinking that it is pointless was that legally, you are allowed to make a right turn on red after a full stop, so long as there isn't a no turn on red sign. Which is what this sign is saying. So in effect, the sign is stating exactly what the law you're quoting is saying. It's the same with the sign there as it is without it.

Ahhhhh, got it, Sir. Thanks for the clarification. FWIW, most NJ drivers DON'T stop before turning right. lol

That’s how all white-background signs work, like speed limits or parking regulations. Those laws exist and apply to the road without the sign, these white-background signs are simply reminders of the existing law.

In my mind, speed limits exist on every road, but I don't know what that limit is everywhere. And I know there are parking regulations, but don't know if it's street cleaning or free parking for all eternity. Those signs are still useful for someone like me who doesn't have them all memorized for every road I'll be on. This sign is just restarting the same applicable law with no updated information, so seems quite useless to me.
