You wait in a left-turn lane. The turn signal shows a flashing yellow arrow. An oncoming car is close to the intersection, and a person is in the crosswalk of the street that you will enter. What should you do?
A waits in a marked left-turn lane under a flashing yellow left arrow. B is close in the oncoming lane, and C is in the crosswalk across the street A would enter.
Correct answer: Yield to the car and the person, then turn when there is a safe gap
Why
A solid green arrow gives a protected turn, but a flashing yellow arrow gives a permitted turn, so you must find your own safe gap. A solid yellow arrow means that the arrow is about to change, so prepare to stop. Oncoming traffic may have a green light at the same time, so judge its speed and distance with care.
