Practice question

In Ontario, it is legal to turn left on a red light when turning:

From a two-way street to a one-way street, after coming to a complete stop and yielding right of way to other cars in the intersection.
From a one-way street to a two-way street
From a two-way street to a two-way street
From a one-way street to a one-way street

Answer: A — From a two-way street to a one-way street, after coming to a complete stop and yielding right of way to other cars in the intersection.

In Ontario, it is only legal to turn left on a red light when turning from a two-way street to a one-way street. This is because in this situation, there is less traffic and the risk of collision is minimized. Choice B is incorrect because turning left from a one-way street to a two-way street poses a higher risk of collision due to increased traffic. Choice C is incorrect because turning left from a two-way street to a two-way street is not allowed on a red light in Ontario. Choice D is incorrect because turning left on a red light is only permitted when turning from a two-way street to a one-way street. Therefore, turning from a one-way street to a one-way street would not be legal. Overall, the key factor in determining the legality of turning left on a red light in Ontario is whether the street you are turning onto
