Show answer & explanationAnswer & 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

- B. This is incorrect; it is permitted under specific circumstances.
- C. Yielding is required, but the street types are also a strict condition.
