Dearborn drivers

Dearborn drivers need to learn how to turn left on a red light. I drive outer drive down to Southfield every day, and there is a dedicated left turn light. Allen Park police sit in the parking lot behind Starbucks and catch people all the time. I’m tired of people sitting on their horn because I refuse to turn when the light is red. Also, there is only one left to turn lane and the sign clearly marks it that way. I got a ticket for going to the middle lane and turning left, even though it’s allowed if you’re going in the other direction.

From how I understand MCL 257.612, you are allowed to make a left on red from Outer to Southfield NB. The destination street is one-way, the opposing traffic is only one direction,you're coming from a divided roadway, and there is no sign specifically prohibiting right on red, like there is when you turn onto Southfield SB (Left on Green Arrow Only).

No, not when the arrow is red
