Passing target: 80% (24/30)
You wait in a left-turn lane. The signal for your lane shows a flashing yellow arrow that points left. Oncoming traffic has a green light. What may you do?
Blue car A waits behind the line in a marked left-turn lane. Silver car B approaches in the opposite lane. Signal details show a flashing yellow left arrow for A and a steady green circle for B; the receiving-street crosswalk is empty.
Correct answer: Turn left only after you yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
Why
A green arrow gives a protected turn, because oncoming traffic is stopped. A flashing yellow arrow means that oncoming cars may be moving, so judge the gap carefully. If the arrow changes to steady yellow, the turn period is ending.
