(b) if the driver is turning left at a left turn on red after stopping sign at the intersection--
(i) any vehicle approaching from the right, turning right at the intersection into the road the driver is entering or making a U-turn, and
(ii) any pedestrian at or near the intersection who is on the road the driver is leaving, and
(c) if the driver is turning right--any oncoming vehicle that is going straight ahead or turning left at the intersection (except a vehicle turning left using a slip lane).
