Can I turn left when the left turn signal turns green while waiting at a straight lane traffic light?

When waiting at a straight lane traffic light, you cannot turn left even if the left turn signal turns green. Only vehicles in the left turn lane are permitted to turn left. When entering an intersection, you must follow the ground markings to proceed in your intended direction. You may cross the intersection when the traffic signal ahead is green. If you intend to turn left, your vehicle should be in the left turn lane, and you should observe the left turn signal ahead; you may turn left when it is green. According to the Ministry of Public Security's regulations on the application and use of motor vehicle driving licenses, when a motor vehicle passes through an intersection controlled by traffic signals, it must enter the designated lane based on the intended direction of travel at intersections with marked lanes. For vehicles traveling in a straight lane, making illegal left or right turns at intersections constitutes driving in an incorrect lane, and penalties depend on the nature of the road.
