You can make a left-turn into an intersection marked by a red light only from a one-way street onto a one-way street while staying close to the left-hand curb, after coming to a full stop before the interection and waiting until it is safe to proceed. It is just like a right turn.
Some people say you can make a U-turn if you do not enter the intersection, but that is not really turning on a red light. Red lights apply only to the intersection, not to the roadway between intersections. However, there may be another law that requires you to stop before the stop line of a crosswalk and remain stopped there until a signal indicates that you can proceed. I would say that when the signal turns green, it indicates that you can proceed into the intersection. But even when it is red, it is indicating that you may proceed to make a U-turn if you do not enter the intersection.

Can you ever make a left turn on a red light?
Right-side driving No one can make you do anything except for the authorities. However, since you cannot turn left on a red, you must turn if the traffic signal says to turn left. Otherwise, you are blocking traffic and that is illegal. You can only make right turns on a red. Left-side driving Many intersections have a "free left", where you can turn left because there is no other traffic that will cross your path, or an unregulated left where the light does not cover it and you are able to turn when safe to do so.

You can turn right on a red light if there are no signs saying you can't, but you have to wait for a green light and a clear intersection to turn left.However, in Michigan specifically, you can turn left on a solid red light if you are turning onto a one way street and have no on-coming traffic. You have to come to a complete stop before the crosswalk, and yield to traffic, but unless there is a sign to prohibit it, you CAN turn left on a red light onto a one way street.

The only time it is acceptable to turn left at a red light is if the perpendicular street on which you would be turning is a one way and in turning you would be going the correct direction. In other words, if the light is red and the street you're turning left on is a one way with traffic moving right to left as you face it, you may turn left when traffic clears.

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.
When making a left hand turn at a traffic light you have merged out into the intersection but there is no clear time to make a safe left the light goes to red. Is it legal to make the turn?
The answer is yes. As long as you have ENTERED the intersection BEFORE the red light, and you CANNOT safely turn left due to traffic, then a left turn on red is completely legal. This is also because all cars are supposed to be cleared of an intersection upon any red light, to keep traffic flow at the optimum pace. However, in some jurisdictions you are required to wait at the stop line in your lane thereby not entering the intersection until it is safe to turn. You should check the laws and practices in your jurisdiction to avoid receiving traffic violations. You should take extra precautions when traveling out of your usual area such as in another state. Some states are harsh on out-of-state drivers.
In Georgia is it illegal to make a left turn when you have a left red light and there is no cars on the road at all but the on the road your coming off of has a green light?
It is only a RIGHT turn that is legal on a red signal. The reason is, that it is basically a 'merge' situation - you are merging into a stream of traffic going the same direction you are. To turn left on red means you would have to travel entirely across a lane of traffic that could be moving OPPOSITE the direction you wish to travel. The danger is too great and thus, is not allowed.
