Turning at a Red Light
In Manitoba, you are allowed to turn right on a red light, unless a traffic sign prohibits it.
However, you must still obey some basic rules before proceeding;
- Using the turn signal is mandatory before making any turn
- Stop in the lane closest to the curb
- While turning, stay as close as you can to the curb
- Complete your turn into the right-hand lane
If there is a vehicle parked in the curb lane within 30 m of the intersection, you can angle out in to the second lane as long it's safe to do so.
What about turning left on a red light?
All the same rules for right turns on red apply, but you can only turn left from a one-way to another one-way street, after yielding to pedestrians and other traffic.
Most crashes happen at intersections, so before making a simple turn, first, make sure the coast is clear.
