Why Can You Turn Left at a Red Light?

[CassandraLynn]

Generally speaking, you can turn left at a red light, but there are some special circumstances as follows: 1. Centerline: For example, if the road centerline is a double yellow line and there are no signs prohibiting left turns or U-turns, vehicles on the side with the dashed line can make a left turn or U-turn after ensuring safety and without obstructing traffic. 2. Signage: If there is a sign indicating 'U-turn permitted when red light is on,' you can make a left turn or U-turn when the red light is on. Without such special instructions, even in a left-turn lane, you cannot turn left when the light is red. Additional information: According to the red-light running capture system, the vehicle capture rate is 100%, with a recognition time of about 1 second. The vehicle recognition rate is over 95% during the day and over 90% at night. Any traffic violation will be recorded, but the determination of running a red light is stricter and requires three photos.
