Can you turn left on a red in Illinois?

I’m a little fuzzy on Illinois’ left turn rules; it’s been a while since I took my driving test. Can you turn left on a red in Illinois?

We’ve got you! Everyone needs a refresher on the rules sometimes.
In the state of
Illinois
, you can only make a left turn at a red light from a one-way street to another one-way street, but you must yield to the right of way for approaching vehicles and pedestrians. So as long as you’re cautious turning from one one-way to another, you can turn on a red light.
Using caution when driving is the best way to avoid
collisions
, but in the event that you do get into an accident, your car insurance doesn’t have to suffer.
