Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are in a left-turn lane, and a green arrow lets you turn. As you come near the stop line, the green arrow changes to a yellow arrow. What does the yellow arrow tell you?
Correct answer: The protected turn is ending, so get ready to stop unless you cannot stop safely
Why
While the green arrow shows, oncoming traffic is held by a red signal. When the arrow ends, you may still be able to turn on a circular green light, but then you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. Never try to beat a changing light.
