What should you do before making a left turn on red from one-way to one-way?

• A. Stop completely before turning on red.
• B. Stop only if sign posted.
• C. Not required to stop.
• D. Stop only for pedestrians.

Answer: (A)

In Alberta, you may turn left on red from a one-way street to another one-way street, but only after you come to a complete stop and yield to pedestrians and traffic, and only if there is no sign prohibiting the turn. The required action is to stop completely at the stop line or before the crosswalk, look for any pedestrians or vehicles with the right of way, and only proceed when it’s safe. This means you don’t turn on red unless you have stopped and the way is clear; you also must obey any sign that says the turn on red is not allowed. The other options fail because stopping isn’t optional, and you must stop for both pedestrians and other traffic, not just pedestrians.
