Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You wait in a left-turn lane. The signal for your lane shows a flashing yellow left arrow. Oncoming cars continue straight through the intersection. What should you do?
A vertical signal detail displays a flashing yellow left arrow with flash-ring marks and a neutral statement that it flashes yellow.
Correct answer: Wait for a safe gap in the oncoming cars, and then turn left.
Why
The flashing yellow arrow lets drivers turn when traffic allows, so they do not wait for a green arrow. Many crashes happen when a turning driver misjudges the speed of an oncoming car. Look also for pedestrians in the crosswalk of the street that you turn into.
