New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

You see a 'Left turn on red permitted after stopping' sign at traffic lights. What must you do?

The answer

  • Stop at the red light, then turn left when clear, giving way to traffic and pedestrians Correct
  • Wait for a green light before turning
  • Turn left only when a green arrow appears
  • Turn left without stopping if the way is clear

Why that's the answer

Where that sign is displayed you must stop at the red light first, then turn left when it is clear — giving way to traffic and to pedestrians crossing the road you are turning into.
