It has been proposed that this page or section be merged with No turn on red. (Discuss)

Use a variation of red_turn if crossing a traffic signal in a specific direction is allowed even if it is red.

How to map

  • Start with the base key red_turn,
  • then add direction of the allowed movement (:left, or :right)
  • then if needed add the class of vehicle it applies to (:bicycle).

Unless the values are the same in all directions, you should make sure the individual traffic signals are mapped (as opposed to tagging just the intersection with highway=traffic_signals).

In this context, left/right is understood as the turn direction as seen by the vehicle. Don't confuse with the left/right side of the road which is always seen in the direction of the OSM way.

Alternatives

In France, many of these are mapped as a relation of type=restriction with restriction:bicycle=give_way, with a 'from', 'via' and 'to' role. More info (in French). Also see the Talk section of this page.

In Austria, some are mapped as relation type=restriction with restriction:bicycle=stop.
