Several cars are waiting in the right-hand lane at a "red" traffic light. Are you allowed to pass the cars cautiously on the right?

You answered correctly. If multiple cars are waiting in the right lane at a red light and there is enough space on the roadway, you are allowed to cautiously pass them on the right. This is permitted in certain situations, such as when vehicles are queuing at a traffic light and there is a designated lane or sufficient space on the road—never by using the pavement, which is illegal. Always make sure to do so safely and without endangering other road users. This exception only applies where the traffic situation and the road design make it safe and legal to pass; otherwise, you should wait behind the last car. This rule helps keep traffic flowing and avoids unnecessary delays at signalized intersections.
