Do I have to make a right on red (New York)?

Question

When at a red light the car behind me is beeping his horn because I am not making a right on red. Sometimes there is traffic and they are still beeping the horn. People are crazy

Answer 1

You are allowed.
You are not required.
There is a big difference.
Some people just don't understand.

Answer 2

NEW YORK CITY: No turn on red EXCEPT WHERE POSTED !

The rest of NY STATE: Red turn on red is permitted EXCEPT where posted "NO TURN ON RED".

You don't HAVE to turn on red, and why are you paying attention to a horn blowing in NYC traffic ?????
