What is the exception to making a left turn at a red light?

Making a left turn at a red light is generally restricted, but there is an exception that allows it under specific circumstances. The correct answer pertains to the action of turning from one one-way street to another one-way street.

In Ohio, if you are on a one-way street and wish to turn left onto another one-way street, you may do so after ensuring that it is safe and that there is no signage indicating that such a turn is prohibited. This exception is designed to improve traffic flow and allow drivers to safely make efficient turns when traffic conditions permit.

Other scenarios, such as turning from a two-way street to a one-way street, from a parking lot, or from a highway to a side street, don’t carry the same allowance for left turns on red. Generally, these maneuvers require that the light be green or may have specific regulations that govern the intersection, making the one-way to one-way turn unique in this regard.
