Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are stopped at a steady red light, and no sign prohibits turns. The way is clear. In which of these cases may you turn left now?
Correct answer: You are on a one-way street, and you turn onto a one-way street whose traffic goes left.
Why
When a one-way street meets another one-way street, a left turn does not cross oncoming traffic, so it works like a right turn on red. When either street carries two-way traffic, a left turn on red would cut across drivers who have the green light. Some other states have different rules, so use the Texas rule when you drive in Texas.
