Is it okay to make a left turn at a light that has a red light for the left lane but oncoming traffic light is green?

Certainly not in Australia, New Zealand, Britain, South Africa, Japan, the West Indies and several other places. If a T.C.S. displays a red circle than no traffic facing that red circle may proceed unless a green arrow illuminates applicable to the lane that a driver is in. Exception: when directed by a Member of Police.

What does green arrow means?
A green arrow means that (assuming the traffic lights are not malfunctioning) it is safe to turn in the direction of the arrow, if you are in the correct lane. This is different from simply a green light, which means you may turn (if the green light is for the turn lane) but you must yield to oncoming traffic.

What is an advanced green?
An advanced green is a type of traffic light signal present in some jurisdictions in Canada, where the green light initially flashes while the matching light for oncoming traffic remains red, signalling to drivers that they may make an unobstructed turn across the oncoming lane while the flashing continues.
When you come to an left turn green arrow and it turns but the main light is green do you have to wait for the green light to come on again?
If you are referencing the "green arrow" to come on again, no, but you are suppose to "yield" to oncoming traffic, especially, more than likely, they have a green light to go. For example, if you are heading north in the north lane and a car is heading south on the south lane, but gets in the turning lane to make a left turn and there is no green arrow but their light is green, it is legal to turn, but you have to yield to oncoming traffic, make sure oncoming traffic is clear before you go out in the road. If not, it could cause a major accident.Added to clarify: If the green left arrow goes out and is replaced by a red left arrow or a red bullseye clearly meant to control the left turn lane, THEN you must wait until the next green arrow in order to make your turn.
You should never pass in the oncoming lane in which circumstances?
When it is Dangerous to you and oncoming traffic.
What is a lane that allows both you and oncoming traffic to make a left turn is called?
A "Center left turn lane".
What an example of a hazard is an oncoming vehicle that drifts into your lane of traffic?

Is a four lane considered oncoming traffic?
Yes, at least 2 of the lanes would be.
Do I HAVE to make a right on red if it is safe to do so?
you do not have to, and can wait for the light to turn green, if you so wish, or don't feel that it is safe to do while your light is red. One example might be times when your view of oncoming traffic in the lane you're turning into is obstructed, and you cannot be certain that you're clear and safe to make your turn. In such an instance, it is recommended that you wait for a green light before executing your turn.
When passing on a 2 lane highway you need a minimum cushion of to seconds from oncoming traffic?
10 to 12 seconds
If you are in a single left turn lane can you turn into the right lane with a green arrow?
Yes, of course you can, this should tell you that in your driver's hand book, when you go for your driver exam ( written and test drive) it would be a good idea to know all there is to know about the rules and regulations of the road or you will fail.Another view: If you are at an intersection where the left turn is clearly controlled by a signal (e.g.: red and green left turn arrows), it makes no difference whether there is oncoming traffic or not. You must wait for the green arrow signifying a legal left turn.However - if you are at an intersection where there IS a left-turn green arrow which goes out after a short time and there is NO red arrow present, THEN you may turn left when the green bullseye light controlling regular traffic is displayed and there is no oncoming traffic.
Can you make a you turn from the bike lane into oncoming traffic?
No. Bicycles travelling on a public roadway are subject to the same traffic laws as motor vehicles. Making a U-turn and driving into oncoming traffic would be unlawful for a motor vehicle and thus, also for a bicyclist.
