it is different for all intersections, sometimes it goes on while the light for the people going straight is still red and sometimes it goes on right before the light turns red
That is a definite NO! The red arrow indicates that it is a left turn only light. If it's red, then you can't go.
yes but you must yield to the other cars. when the arrow is not lit it is an unprotected turn.
when a green arrow points to the left :]When you are turning left as directed by a traffic signal left turn arrow.
A flashing yellow arrow light means you may turn left, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
When you have a green arrow or a green light indicating that you can turn left.
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.
yes you can if the signal shows full green for traffic proceeding the same direction your car is/was travelling - but you cant if the arrow is red. if there is no arrow it means that you can turn if you feel that it is safe to.
In Florida, you can turn left at a traffic light when the light is green, unless there are signs indicating otherwise. If you have a green arrow, you can proceed to turn left without hesitation. However, if the light is red, you may only turn left onto a one-way street if it's safe to do so, after coming to a complete stop. Always yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians when making the turn.
I'm sorry but you are. Green light left still yeilds to oncoming, only green arrow left does not have to yeild.
If the green arrow shows for the direction you want to turn then you obey the green arrow, the red light is for all other traffic. The green arrow basically overrules the red light for the direction of the arrow.
In the United States, you can turn right on a red arrow after coming to a complete stop if there are no oncoming vehicles or pedestrians in the intersection and if there are no signs prohibiting the turn. Unlike a solid red light, a red arrow indicates that a right turn is prohibited unless otherwise specified by local traffic laws. It is important to always yield to any pedestrians and oncoming traffic before making the right turn on a red arrow.
When approaching a blinking yellow arrow traffic light, a driver should proceed with caution and yield to oncoming traffic before making a left turn.
