fwiw, in the US you can turn right on red unless there is a sign saying you can't... I've never seen a green arrow sign. Sometimes there are green arrow lights that say you have a protected right turn.

Not in New York City, where you may not unless specifically marked so.

But also importantly, it is allowed in New York state, just not the city. Very weird.
NYC should secede from NYS.

good to know... how likely are you to get pulled over for turning right on red illegally, but safely?

All the time. It's a surefire way of pulling over someone from out of town. My first ever memory of being pulled over was visiting NYC. My dad was driving and got pulled over. The cop said: "no right on red in New York City!" - a phrase that is now burned into my memory.
