Can You Turn Left When the Straight Light is Red?
1 Answers
You cannot turn left when the straight light is red for the following reasons: 1. If there are vehicles moving in the opposite lane, whether going straight or turning left, and the signal light is green, you cannot proceed straight as it would be considered running a red light. Similarly, if the left-turn light is red and the straight light is not displayed, turning left would also be considered running a red light. 2. When the directional light is red, you are not allowed to turn left. However, if it is an international signal and the left-turn light is green, you may turn left. It is permissible to turn right when the light is red. Running a red light refers to the act of a motor vehicle violating the prohibition of passage during the red light phase at a signal-controlled intersection or road section, crossing the stop line, and continuing to drive.
