When can you make a left turn at a red traffic light?

  1. When there is a sign permitting left turns on red.

  2. When the way is clear and there is no oncoming traffic.

  3. When turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street.

  4. Left turns are never allowed on a red light.

The correct answer is: When turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street.

When turning from a one-way street onto another one-way street, you may make a left turn at a red traffic light. This is because there is no oncoming traffic that you would be turning in front of, which could potentially cause an accident. Additionally, a sign permitting left turns on red would only apply to specific intersections, rather than a general rule. Making a left turn at a red light when the way is clear and there is no oncoming traffic may not always be safe, as there may be hidden obstructions or unexpected hazards. Lastly, the statement "left turns are never allowed on a red light" is incorrect because there are certain situations in which a left turn at a red light is allowed, such as from a one-way street onto another one-way street.
