Can I turn left if the left turn signal is not working?
1 Answers
You cannot turn left if the left turn signal is not working. Below are specific details for left turns in different lanes. Separate left turn and straight lanes: If there is a dedicated left turn signal, you cannot turn left when the left turn signal is not working. If the left turn signal and straight signal light up together, then a green straight signal also means the left turn is green. If the left turn signal is broken, turning left is not considered a violation, and no penalty or points will be deducted. Even if it is judged as running a red light, you can apply for administrative reconsideration at the traffic police department to cancel the violation, as it was caused by a malfunctioning traffic signal. Shared left turn and straight lane: If there is no left turn signal in a shared left turn and straight lane, turning left is not a violation.
