Western Australia · Theory Test (CTT) · Intersections

A sign at the lights reads 'LEFT TURN ON RED PERMITTED AFTER STOPPING'. What may you do?

The answer

  • Stop first, then turn left when it is safe, giving way to pedestrians and other traffic Correct
  • Treat the red light normally - the sign applies only to buses
  • Turn left only when the light shows a green arrow
  • Turn left without stopping if the way is clear

Why that's the answer

Where this sign is displayed you may turn left against the red, but only after coming to a stop, and only when it is safe. You must still give way to pedestrians and other traffic.
