Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are in a left-turn lane. The signal for your lane shows a flashing yellow arrow pointing left. What does it allow you to do?

Correct answer: Turn left after you yield to oncoming traffic and to pedestrians.
Why
Many drivers think any arrow gives them the right-of-way, but only a steady green arrow does. With a flashing yellow arrow, oncoming vehicles usually have a green light and will not stop for you. Wait for a safe gap, and check the crosswalk that you will turn across.
