Pedestrian Signal
When entering a traffic roundabout you need to slow down, signal, and move into the correct lane. You also need to give right of way to drivers in the roundabout.
In any state you should signal within 100ft of turning but, to be safe you should always signal. Because you never know whats going to happen.
A police officer can signal traffic to stop by using hand signals or using their patrol vehicle's emergency lights and siren. They may extend their arm out to the side with their palm facing the traffic, indicating that it should stop. They may also use their police vehicle's lights and sirens to grab the attention of the drivers and indicate they need to stop.
Normal signal: Turn left if the signal is green and there is no on coming traffic from the other side. Separate left turn signal: Turn left if the arrow is green. Do not wait for the on coming traffic. It is intended to move traffic through from the left lane. If the arrow is red or yellow, but the main signal is green, you may still turn left, but must yield to on coming traffic from the other side. Left on green arrow only: You must not turn left until the small arrow is green. Many drivers from out of state are confused by this, but if obeyed well, the traffic has the highest flow possibility using these principles. Out of state drivers tend to stay parked at the Separate left turn signal, if it is red or yellow, even when there is no on coming traffic and the main signal is green. It is a better safe than sorry approach, but it slows down traffic in the big picture.
Yes, treat a malfunctioning traffic signal as though it is a four-way stop by coming to a complete stop and taking turns proceeding through the intersection in the order that vehicles arrived. This procedure helps maintain safety and order at the intersection when the signal is not functioning properly.
To control the flow of traffic during construction, it's best to have signs posted for drivers to know what is coming up the road. Next, have cones to guide the traffic and an flag person ready to signal which flow of traffic can move.
Stop light is another name for a traffic signal.
When turning you should signal during the last 100 feet before a stop sign. This is courteous to all drivers around you.
