Can I Turn Left When the Straight Light is Red and the Left-Turn Light is Green?

[EllaRose]

When the straight light is red and the left-turn light is green, vehicles in the left-turn lane can turn left. Additional information: 1. Traffic signals: Traffic signals are lights that direct traffic. A red light means stop, a green light means go, and a yellow light means caution. When the straight light is red and the left-turn light is green, you can turn left. However, note that when the straight arrow is green but the left-turn arrow is red, you cannot turn left but can enter the left-turn waiting area. When the left-turn arrow turns green, vehicles in the lane can proceed to turn left. 2. Situations requiring attention to traffic signals: (1) At intersections with a U-turn sign but without the four small characters, U-turns are only allowed when the light is green; (2) At intersections where left turns are permitted but there is no specific U-turn sign, you must wait for the left-turn light to turn green before making a U-turn; (3) When left turns are allowed but there is no U-turn sign, and the traffic light does not distinguish between left turns and going straight, you must wait for the green light to make a U-turn.
