Can you turn left when the traffic light is green or do I have to wait for the green turning light?

Depends. If the light has a sign next to it that says 'Yield on green light' it means you can go when the light is green and there is no traffic coming from the opposite direction that could hit you. If there is no sign wait for the arrow.

Protected left turn?
when a green arrow points to the left :]When you are turning left as directed by a traffic signal left turn arrow.
Who has the right a way the person with a green light and a green arrow pointing left or the oncoming traffic does?
Normally, the green arrow would indicate that the opposing traffic has a red light and as such the green arrow traffic has right of way.However, due to mechanical or planning errors it is possible that the opposing traffic will also have a green light. If this happens, the opposing traffic (by virtue of going straight) has right of way. If this opposing traffic does not appear to be stopping, green arrow traffic should assume that opposing traffic has a green arrow and right of way. In the event of a collision when both have green, green arrow traffic (turning left) will be found at fault except in no-fault states where this will be considered a no-fault accident.
Do you have to turn right on a red light if you don't want to?
A green light on a traffic light set (in the UK) means automobile traffic is free to go. Walking out when commuter traffic lights are on green is a bad idea. Answer from @MunicipalSigns: In general: A steady GREEN traffic light means you can go through the intersection. You must yield to emergency vehicles and others as required by law. If you are stopped and then the light turns green, you must allow crossing traffic to clear the intersection before you go ahead. A GREEN arrow means you can safely turn in the direction of the arrow. There should be no on-coming or crossing traffic while the arrow is green. If you are turning left, a steady green traffic green light means you may turn but only when safe to do so. Oncoming traffic has the right-of-way. Be alert for signs that prohibit left turns. When turning right or left, watch for pedestrians crossing in front of your vehicle.
Does right hand turn lane yield to oncoming left turn traffic onto a highway on ramp if no yield sign present for right hand turners.?
If you have a red light and left turners have a green light then yes. Otherwise the general rule is those turning left yield to those turning right.
When you are turning left you must yield the right of way to oncoming traffic.?
Yes.unless you have a protected left turn such as with a green arrow.
What does a yellow arrow traffic light mean?
A yellow arrow traffic light means that you should yield in the direction you are going. These are often in place when you are turning left.
When turning left at a green light do you stop then go or just go if theres no oncoming traffic?
You continue through the turn but only after you make sure that there is no oncoming traffic. It is your responsibility to yield to vehicles that are coming straight through the intersection.
When you come to an left turn green arrow and it turns but the main light is green do you have to wait for the green light to come on again?
If you are referencing the "green arrow" to come on again, no, but you are suppose to "yield" to oncoming traffic, especially, more than likely, they have a green light to go. For example, if you are heading north in the north lane and a car is heading south on the south lane, but gets in the turning lane to make a left turn and there is no green arrow but their light is green, it is legal to turn, but you have to yield to oncoming traffic, make sure oncoming traffic is clear before you go out in the road. If not, it could cause a major accident.Added to clarify: If the green left arrow goes out and is replaced by a red left arrow or a red bullseye clearly meant to control the left turn lane, THEN you must wait until the next green arrow in order to make your turn.
When you are turning left you must yield the right of way to oncoming traffic?
When turning left, you must yield the right of way to oncoming traffic. There is no such thing as left of way, unless you are protected by a green left turn light. Always wait to see what the oncoming traffic is doing before turning left. Remember...there is no such thing as "left of way".
How do you make a left turn at an intersection?
Answer about left turnsCarefully, unless you are in China. The person turning left must yield to oncoming traffic. At a regular traffic light, you should enter the intersection. When the oncoming traffic stops for the red light you Amy proceed in order to clear the intersection.
