When is a driver permitted to turn right on a red traffic signal?

In Ohio, it is legal to turn right after stopping at a red traffic signal, provided that a driver first comes to a complete stop and makes sure the turn will not interfere with crossing traffic or pedestrians. Drivers should only turn right on a red light when there is no sign posted forbidding right turns on red and they can clearly see that the turn can be completed safely.
