According the Pennsylvania Driver’s Manual, you can actually turn right on a red arrow. Here’s what the manual says:

A STEADY RED ARROW means you must stop and may not turn in the direction the arrow points. Wait
for a Green Arrow or a Flashing Yellow Arrow before you start. The same turns-on-red that are allowed
for a steady red signal are allowed for a steady red arrow.

The Pennsylvania Driver’s Manual currently says you can turn right on red after stopping. (This is actually true in almost all of the United States, with the notable exception of New York City.)

A STEADY RED ARROW means you must stop and may not turn in the direction the arrow points. Wait for a Green Arrow or a Flashing Yellow Arrow before you start. The same turns-on-red that are allowed for a steady red signal are allowed for a steady red arrow.

(At the time this post was originally written, it read differently, and suggested that you could not turn right on red at a red arrow.)

However, at some intersections, such as the one you mentioned, you may see a red arrow. If this is present, you may not turn in that direction, and must wait for the light to change. When you are allowed to go in that direction, a green arrow will appear.

Although not common in Pennsylvania, a RED ARROW is used in other states. It means you may not turn in the direction the arrow points.

Whether you can turn right on a red arrow does vary by state, though. For instance, you cannot in New York. But, for instance, in Indiana or Florida you can turn right on the arrow after stopping.
