On the straight road I travel on, there is an intersection with a road on the left. At the lights, the name of the straight road changes from Platt to Huron, but the road off to the left is also Platt. Platt clearly used to be a straight road with Huron meeting it at a T, but they redeveloped the intersection to change priority.

Does this mean that when driving along Platt, if I stay straight and go onto Huron, I can go on red because it's technically a turn, even though there's no turning involved? I've always thought it would be sensible to be able to do this, but no-one ever does.
