In short, yes, you can make a right turn on a red light from a multi-travel lane. Unless you can’t.

“If you’re in the far left right-turn lane of a double right turn, you would be allowed to make that right — as long as there were no signs indicating otherwise,” Trooper Steve said. “All rules would still be the same as if you were in the far right turn lane.”
