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.
If the right turning driver is in the turning lane without lights then you have the right away to turn left. If he is in a meiddle strip then you still have the right away because the rule is the right hand turning driver must first give way to traffic to the left and or right and then any oncoming traffic going straight or turning left into the horizontal road. This is for Countries that drive on the left side of the road. If you drive on the right side of the road then i assume this answer would be reversed and he would have the right away. I have no sources for this but i suggest you go to a website containing road rules for your country cause everywhere is different even with states within your own country. My answer might only apply to where I live, if you live in Australia then take my answer 100% as correct.
this is really a matter of courtesy, he must yield to you, but since you are turning LEFT, legally he has the right of way, UNLESS YOU ARE TURNING LEFT ON A GREEN ARROW then you will have the right of way.Another View: The question states that the left turner has a sign that says "Left Turn Yield on Green." In that case the left turner MUST yield to the right turner since even without signs, the right turn has the right-of-way and is the 'superior' vehicle in this scenario.Of course, as stated above, if there is a left turn arrow controlliing the left turn lane, then all other traffic must yield to the movement that is authorized by the signal, and in THAT scenario the left turner WOULD have the ROW over the opposing traffic.
It's really situation dependent. If the car which collided cross the intersection on a green light or a protected left turn (a green arrow), then they had the right-of-way. If that driver ran a stop light or sign, or failed to yield right-of-way when they didn't have a protected left turn, they'd be liable.
When turning left at an intersection with a green arrow, you have the right of way over oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
driver 2 Probably Driver 1, the driver making a right turn is usually considered to have the right of way.
In most all states you loose your right of way when you make a turn.
- A driver approaching an intersection must yield the right-of-way to traffic already in the intersection. (traffic in the intersection has the right of way) - If drivers are approaching an intersection from opposite directions, the driver turning left must yield to approaching traffic going straight or turning right. (traffic going straight or turning right has the right-of-way) - Two drivers at an intersection that arrived at the same time at a right angle. The driver on the left must yield the right-of way. ( the driver on the right has the right of way) -Never insist on the right-away
When a driver is turning right and a bike is going straight, the driver should yield to the bike and allow it to pass before completing the turn. It is important to always be aware of and yield to cyclists on the road to ensure their safety.
When the light turns green at an intersection, the vehicles that have the right of way are those going straight or turning right. They should proceed first before vehicles turning left or pedestrians crossing the street.
When you have a green arrow or a green light indicating that you can turn left.
The left turn has right away
Mine isn't. If yours is I suggest you see a doctor.
