What is a partially controlled intersection?
Controlled intersections have traffic lights, yield signs or stop signs to control traffic. At a controlled intersection where you face a green light, drive carefully through the intersection at a steady speed. If the light has been green for a while, be prepared to stop when it turns yellow. However, if you are already so close that you cannot stop safely, drive through the intersection with caution. Where you face a red light, come to a complete stop and wait until the light turns green. When you approach an intersection on a main road, and the intersection is blocked with traffic, stop before entering the intersection and wait until the traffic ahead moves on. This does not apply if you are turning left or right. At a controlled intersection where you face a yield sign, slow down or stop if necessary and wait until the way is clear before driving through the intersection. At a controlled intersection where you face a stop sign, come to a complete stop. Drive through the intersection only when the way is clear (Diagram 2-15).

All traffic turning right now has to give way to a vehicle coming from the opposite direction and turning left; and at an uncontrolled T-intersection, all traffic from a terminating road (the bottom of the T) will be required to give way to traffic on the continuing road (top of the T). "The top of the T goes before me."

In Alabama can you turn left at a red light on a one-way street?
Yes, aside from intersections with signs specifically prohibiting it. UPDATE: The vehicle turning right on red also has to YIELD to traffic in the intersection. If turning right on red causes you to hit another vehicle turning left in your direction, the accident is your fault and you should have stopped to allow that vehicle to legally pass through the intersection. ALA CODE § 32-5A-32 : TRAFFIC-CONTROL SIGNAL LEGEND 3(b): Except when a sign is in place prohibiting a turn, vehicular traffic facing any steady red signal may cautiously enter the intersection to turn right, or turn left from a one-way street into a one-way street, after stopping as required by subdivisions (3)a. Such vehicular traffic shall YIELD the right of way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk AND TO OTHER TRAFFIC LAWFULLY USING THE INTERSECTION.
