  2. BNever, a left turn on red is always prohibited in Florida.
  3. CAfter yielding to all traffic and pedestrians, regardless of the street type.

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D. Only when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street.

Florida Statute 316.075(1)(c) allows a left turn on red only when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street, after coming to a complete stop and yielding to traffic and pedestrians.

Why the other options are wrong

  • A. This scenario (two-way to one-way) does not permit a left turn on red.
  • B. This is incorrect; it is permitted under specific circumstances.
  • C. Yielding is required, but the street types are also a strict condition.

Left Turn on Red

In Florida, a left turn on a red light is permitted only when turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street, after stopping and yielding.

  • Must be from a one-way street.
  • Must be turning onto another one-way street.
  • Must come to a complete stop first.
  • Must yield to all traffic and pedestrians.

Memory trick: Only One-Way-to-One-Way for Left, otherwise Right on Red.
