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, and oncoming traffic has a green light. What may you do?
Blue A waits in a left-turn lane under a flashing yellow left arrow. Oncoming silver B has steady green. There is no turn path or priority halo.
Correct answer: Turn left with caution, but only after you yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
Why
This is a permissive turn: you choose a safe gap yourself. A steady yellow arrow is different. It tells you that the protected green-arrow period is ending, so prepare to stop. Large trucks and motorcycles are hard to judge, so let them pass if you are not sure of their speed.
