You are in a left-turn lane. The signal for your lane shows a flashing yellow arrow that points left. Cars are coming toward you, and a pedestrian is in the crosswalk that you would cross. What does the arrow mean?
A is in a left-turn lane under a flashing yellow left arrow. Two oncoming silver cars approach and pedestrian C is in the receiving crosswalk.
Correct answer: You may turn left, but only after you yield to the oncoming cars and the pedestrian.
Why
A flashing yellow arrow is a permissive signal: the turn is allowed, but oncoming traffic also has a green light. Wait with your wheels straight until there is a safe gap and the crosswalk is clear. Only a green arrow protects a left turn from oncoming traffic.
