In a state that allows left turns on red, when may you make one?
Correct answer: Turning from a one-way street into another one-way street.
Answer options
- ATurning from any street, as long as there is no oncoming traffic
- BTurning from a one-way street into another one-way street Correct
- CTurning from a one-way street onto a two-way road
Why
Left turns normally require a green light; where a left on red is allowed, it is allowed from a one-way street into another one-way street that carries traffic in the direction of your turn, never from just any street. Even then, you must stop completely first and yield to pedestrians and to any traffic with the right-of-way.
