So, do you know how you can make a right turn on a red light? What about a left turn?

Mike, from Winter Park, writes in this week:

Is it legal to make a left turn on a red light on a one-way street in Florida? Some people make it, and others don't. I'm confused.

Yes, that's absolutely allowed. Only in certain situations, though.

"The law in Florida does allow for a driver to make a left turn onto a one-way street if you're coming from a one-way street," said Sgt. Kim Montes, of the Florida Highway Patrol.

So, from one one-way street to another, Florida law states drivers are, in fact, able to turn left after yielding for pedestrians and other traffic.

What about from a multi-directional street onto a one-way street?

You are NOT permitted to make that left turn.

"So, traffic coming toward you and you coming toward traffic, you are not allowed to make that left turn when the light is red," Montes said.
