Is it legal to turn Left at red light in Washington state?

Answer 1

In answer to you question. Please look up WA state traffic laws:

RCW 46.61.055

under this code you will find several sub listings that outline the law you want to know about. The botton line is YES - but you have to be turning onto a one way street going the same direction you intend. Also, many people do not know this but if you stop at a red light and are wanting to gain access to an interstate ramp, that ramp is considered a one way stree.

Answer 2

The question is too general for a yes-or-no answer. There ARE some circumstances where it may be allowable and SOME jurisdictions which allow exceptions.

You must be more specific in relating the circumstance or describing the intersection.

---------------------

If it is the only way to go and the blinking red light and traffic allow it then yes.

Answer 3

Yes, unless the action is prohibited by a posted sign, or the turn is controlled by a red arrow.

Answer 4

Yes, if it is not otherwise prohibited by law or a sign is posted at that intersection forbidding it.

Answer 5

It's different in some states. Here is Pa, and NJ it's legal to turn right on a red light unless there is a sign that says "no turn on red"....and remember, pedestrians have the right of way.
