In California, is turning right on red allowed, and what must you do first?

Turning right on red in California is allowed after you come to a complete stop and yield to traffic and pedestrians, unless a sign says otherwise. The essential steps are: stop fully at the limit line or before entering the crosswalk, look for oncoming vehicles, bicycles, and pedestrians, and only turn when the way is clear. If there’s a sign prohibiting turning on red, you must wait. This answer reflects both the permission to turn on red once you’ve stopped and yielded, and the exception created by prohibited-turn signs.
