   I thought I could make a right turn on red here.

Hear the storyline. Joe didn't see the sign that read "No Turn on Red" and was pulled over by a police officer.
Officer: Excuse me, sir, didn't you see the red light?
Joe: Oh, I thought I could make a right turn on red here.
Officer: No, sir.  The sign says "No Turn on Red."
Joe: Oh, I guess I didn't see it.
Officer: I'm sorry, sir, but may I see your driver's license and insurance policy, please?  I have to give you a ticket.
Joe: Here they are.
Officer: Sign here, please.  You can appeal to the court within 14 days.  This slip has all the information you need.  Please drive safely, sir.
Joe: Thank you, Ma'am.
