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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Who is at fault when you turn left on a green light and the car from opposite direction hits the side of you?
I'm sorry but you are. Green light left still yeilds to oncoming, only green arrow left does not have to yeild.
What is an example of a sentence using the word arrow?
I suddenly felt as though an arrow had pierced my heart. Looking down, I saw that an arrow had seemingly pierced my heart. I quickly plucked the arrow from where it seemed to have pierced my heart.
What does a yellow traffic arrow 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 on green if you have a left turn yield on green and the driver across from you has a yield sign and is turning right who has the right of way?
Yes, absolutely. The only exception is if the driver turning right has a yield sign. This is one of the most common mistakes I see in the area I live. Many times, the driver turning right has a yield sign. That would give priority to the driver turning left. However, if the driver turning right has no yield sign, she has the priority. There are so many yield signs in my area that drivers turning left automatically assume they have the right-of-way even if no yield sign is present for the driver turning right.
When at an intersection when the traffic signal is showing a red light and a green arrow?
you must stop if traveling straight...you can go which ever way the green arrow is pointing, left or right.
What does a green arrow with a red light mean?
If you are in the lane governed by the arrow proceed carefully in the direction of the arrow after yielding the right-of-way to other vehicles and pedestrians. If you do not intend to go in the direction of the arrow and you are not in that lane, you have to wait for a green arrow, or a full green light.If you are in the 'green arrow' lane by mistake, you should move anyway, or you may annoy many people.Means that you may proceed in the direction of the arrow, if you are in the proper lane and the roadway is clear.It means that you may make a move IN THE DIRECTION THE ARROW POINTS ONLY.It means that vehicles wishing to move in the direction the arrow points can go. Ayy other maneuver is prohibitted.you can turn wichever way the green arrow is pointing but you have to be in the proper lane for such a turn and you must yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians within the intersectionIf going straight, it means you must stop until the light turns green. You are permitted to turn in whatever direction the green arrow is pointing.A green arrow with a red traffic light means you have a protected turn with oncoming traffic stopped at a red light. Then when the green arrow turns yellow and then you have a green light, you have to yield to opposing traffic, but you may still make your turn when the opposing traffic has cleared.
