It gets even better -- you can also make an "Oregon left" - in Oregon it is legal to turn left on red if you are turning onto a one way street.

In Milwaukee there are a few spots you can turn left on red technically "after stopping". The locations I know are freeway off-ramps onto one way streets, and simple left turns onto one way streets.

In California you can turn left on red from a one-way to a one-way street.

Same in Ohio. Never heard it called an "Oregon left" before.

Georgia has this too. Who doesn't have this?

In Washington we are advised pretty strongly that Oregon has this but California and Idaho very much do not.

(Incidentally, highway on-ramps are considered one way streets for the purpose of this law.)

You're wrong about Idaho. Here's a PDF source[1] of the official driving manual. Check out Turning At a Red Light on page 35.
