Traffic Camera and Right turn with yield sign

[HornSOB]

Possibly someone can help with this, I can't find much information online.

I got a photo enforcement ticket for not coming to a complete stop at an intersection before turning right. There was a yield sign for the right turn lane. Am I wrong in thinking that the yield means "go when safe" not "come to a complete stop, then go when safe"?

I believe you are correct.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In road transport, a YIELD (Canada, Ireland, and the United States) or GIVE WAY (most current or former Commonwealth countries) traffic sign indicates that a vehicle driver must slow down and prepare to stop if necessary — usually while merging into traffic on another road — but needn't stop if the way is clear. A driver who stops has yielded his right of way to another. In contrast, a stop sign always requires a complete stop.

If you find a definitive answer, post it-it would seem like a regular yield sign, where you don't have to come to a complete stop, but maybe with a red light, it means you have to complete the stop, then turn right (doesn't sound correct to me)? Was this a lane that only turned right?

Was it a separated turn lane with a triangle island between it and the straight lanes?

If it was part of the straight lanes that would be confusing because you do have to come to a complete stop at a red light for a right turn if it isn't a dedicated right turn lane.

Is there a light involved in this scenario, or just a yield sign? If there is a light, is there a separate, dedicated right turn signal light, or just a regular one (kind of like what's at westbound Dean Keeton at Guadalupe)?
