You wait in a left-turn lane. The signal for your lane shows a flashing yellow arrow. You see a long gap in oncoming traffic, and no one is in the crosswalk. What may you do?
A waits in a marked left-turn lane at a flashing yellow left arrow. The opposing approach and all visible crosswalks are clear. The card states that there is a long gap and no pedestrians; no turning path is shown.
Correct answer: Turn left with care now, because the flashing arrow allows the turn after you yield
Why
A flashing yellow arrow is a permitted turn, not a protected turn: oncoming drivers can have a green light at the same time. Judge the speed and distance of oncoming vehicles before you commit, and check the crosswalk of the street that you enter. Only a steady green arrow gives your turn the right-of-way.
