Explanation
In California, you can legally turn left at a red traffic light only if you are turning from one one-way street to another. You must come to a complete stop at the red light, as you would at a stop sign, and look carefully for other motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and motorcyclists. When in doubt, it's safest to wait for the light to turn green.
