If you’re on a one way street and the street you’re turning left onto is also a one way street, yes you’re allowed to turn left on red AFTER coming to a complete stop.

That’s a smart choice by someone who performs illegal vehicular maneuvers

So much confusion could be lifted if you simply posted a link to the street view of the intersection in question

What interesection are you talking about? That may help explain it better.

Wouldn't it be safer to just drive across the neutral ground?

If you’re in a dually you can do whatever you choose

New Orleans and their love for stupid arse intersections and red lights.

Every intersection in Orleans Parish where the road is separated by “neutral ground”.

Done it plenty of times
Always just figured I’m not impeding the flow of traffic so screw it

3) Steady RED indication:
(a) Vehicular traffic facing a steady circular red signal alone shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, or if none, then before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until an indication to proceed is shown except as provided in Subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph.
(b) Vehicular traffic facing a steady red arrow signal shall not enter the intersection to make the movement indicated by the arrow and, unless entering the intersection to make a movement permitted by another signal, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, or if none, then before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until an indication permitting the movement indicated by such red arrow is shown except as provided in Subparagraph (c) of this Paragraph.
(c) Except when a sign prohibits a turn, vehicular traffic facing any steady red signal may cautiously enter the intersection to turn right, or to turn left from a one-way street into a one-way street, or to U-turn at a signalized U-turn after stopping as required by Subparagraph (a) or Subparagraph (b) of this Paragraph. Such vehicular traffic shall yield the right-of-way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.

I remember my mom did it once, got pulled over. Cop says there was a sign, she just says oh I don't think there was. No ticket, I don't even know if the cop knew the rt answer answer.
This was making a u turn in a uturn lane with a red light. But the traffic is all flowing in one direction.

This was a big debate on my FB neighborhood group page the other day until someone had the sense to actually pull up the traffic law. It is legal, but if there are multiple lanes you can only legally turn into the nearest one.

So you’re totally fine with him using “descripted” instead of “described?”

since when has that ever been the law when making a right on red that you have to stay in nearest lane?
Posted on 3/20/19 at 9:29 am to Chad504boy
It’s the law that when you turn you have to turn into the closest lane to you. I. E. when turning left you turn into the left lane and when turning right you turn into the right lane. It’s hardly ever ticketed but I’ve heard of it happening before.
