Your light is a steady green circle, not an arrow. You wait in the intersection to turn left, and an oncoming car is close. What should you do?
A faces east inside the intersection, waiting to turn left across the path of close oncoming car B. A’s enlarged signal shows a steady green circle, with no arrow. No turn path or priority highlight is shown.
Correct answer: Yield with your wheels straight, and turn after the oncoming car passes.
Why
Left turns across traffic cause many crashes; the manual says that 22 percent of all crashes happen when one vehicle turns left. When you turn left on a green circle, oncoming vehicles and pedestrians in the crosswalk that you will cross have the right-of-way. Wait with your wheels straight, and turn only when the gap is safe.
