changes to red, waiting to turn for example, are not considered red-light violators.
Right Turn: A red-light violation occurs if the motorist completes the right turn in a non-careful and prudent manner.
Right Turn with 'No Turn On Red' sign: A red-light violation occurs when a motorist completes a right turn at the intersection

Dryer Fire Prevention Tips
Keeping your home safe from dryer fires is quick and straightforward with proper maintenance and safe usage practices. Follow these simple tips to reduce the risk:
Clean the lint filter after every load. Lint buildup is the leading cause of dryer fires, so removing lint from the filter ensures better airflow and less fire hazard [mass.gov:28].
Inspect and clean the dryer vent and exhaust duct regularly. Clear out lint and debris at least twice a year to prevent blockages and overheating, especially if your dryer is used frequently [mass.gov:28].
Never overload your dryer. Overloading can cause overheating and increased lint accumulation, which can ignite [dryerbox.com:30].
Keep the area around your dryer clear of combustibles such as boxes, clothing, or paper products. A cluttered space increases the fire risk [beecherfire.org:32].
Ensure your dryer is installed and maintained by a professional. Proper installation, including correct venting and electrical connections, keeps your dryer operate safely [U.S. Fire Administration:35].
Always stay present when your dryer is in use. Never leave a running dryer unattended, especially overnight or when you're away [mass.gov:28].
Check your smoke alarms regularly. Make sure they work properly, so you’re alerted in case of fire [mass.gov:28].
Replace accordion-style ducts with rigid or semi-rigid metal piping for better lint prevention and airflow [staffordnj.gov:31].
