[–] yenahmik@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago (3 children) Wait until you hear about left turns on red being allowed from 1 way street ... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] LodeMike@lemmy.today 15 points 3 weeks ago Turns on red are allowed if you don't cross over an opposing direction. People call it right turn on red because 99.999% of the time it's a right turn. permalink fedilink source parent [–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 3 points 3 weeks ago which makes just as much sense as right turns. possibly more, actually. permalink fedilink source parent [–] MedicPigBabySaver@lemmy.world 1 point 3 weeks ago (1 child) It's onto a one way street around here. You don't need to be turning from a one way. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] yenahmik@lemmy.world 9 points 3 weeks ago (2 children) I'm pretty sure it's one-way to one-way. Otherwise you'd be crossing oncoming traffic who might have a green light while you have red... permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] cravl@slrpnk.net 1 point 3 weeks ago Correct. The one place I get to do it sometimes is getting off the highway onto a diverging diamond. permalink fedilink source parent [–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 1 point 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) Sorry I was too sleepy to reply and got lights wrong 😅. Ive fixed it. They'll only have a green if theres an advance straight, but why would they have an advance? They could add a no left on red sign if needed. They might also want to turn right on red which you need to watch for. We can do it here. We both have reds, you can turn left onto the 1 way. It feels weird though so I dont usually do it. permalink fedilink source parent
