Question

Is it true you can turn left on a red light if no one is coming?

Answer 1

I wouldn't recommend it and ill advise one to do so. If one does such, then I hope that if they get side swapped, they're liable and at fault for the wreak! Also, too many truckers passing through here and with my vehicle and the lights, I'm willing to wait for them. Their sensor-ed or timed and I can wait, unlike the way too many that drive stupidly. These same people allow me to drive if I can afford the insurance. I can and I'm also Tax Exempt in my State only. :(

Answer 2

Normally not.  The only instance when you can turn left on red is occasionally when turning onto a one way street where traffic is flowing  from right to left.  In this instance it will be CLEARLY marked that it is ok to turn left on red.  I only know of one location like this, so it is very rare.

Answer 3

h**l no!  Do you want to die?

The only time you can turn on red is a right turn, and you must yield to cross traffic. (I live in Texas, but I am aware right on red is illegal in some areas.)

Answer 4

no

Answer 5

Only when turning onto a one way road going left and if way is clear. when on two lane or more the answer is no.

Answer 6

Absolutely Not!  You can't even make a right on red in some states (like New York)

Answer 7

Right only on Red ....If no one is coming ....

44 states are the same

unless Sign stating "No Right on Red is posted"

Left on Red Stop ... is a ticket...

If equip'd Camera's on top take pictures if you run Red Light center,  straight and Left... So you know.... will be posted if no right on red is allowed...
