Turn left on red is allowed under which conditions?

• A. In some places where allowed, after a complete stop and yielding to pedestrians and all other traffic
• B. Never
• C. Always, as long as you are in the far left lane
• D. Only when there is no oncoming traffic

Answer: (A)

Left turn on red is allowed only in certain places and only under strict conditions. You may turn left on red after coming to a complete stop and yielding to pedestrians and to all cross traffic, and only if there are no signs prohibiting the turn on red. This usually applies when turning left from a one-way street onto another one-way street. If there’s any oncoming traffic, pedestrians, or a posted “no turn on red” sign, you must wait. The other options aren’t correct because this maneuver isn’t universally allowed, isn’t tied to being in a particular lane, and isn’t permitted simply because there’s no oncoming traffic.
