Explanation
You may turn left at a red light if you are turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street that has traffic moving to the left, but only after you come to a complete stop. Before you turn, look both ways and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians and other traffic. Be sure to check for less visible vehicles such as motorcycles, bicycles, and mopeds.
