Can you proceed when the left-turn waiting zone light changes from green to red?
1 Answers
You cannot proceed when the left-turn waiting zone light changes from green to red. Reasons why you cannot proceed on red: At intersections, there is usually a waiting zone, which allows more left-turning vehicles to pass without affecting the straight-moving vehicles from the opposite direction. Since turning is slower, the waiting zone effectively alleviates road congestion. When there are many vehicles or U-turning vehicles, traffic flow can be significantly impacted. When the straight-moving signal is green, left-turning vehicles can proceed along with straight-moving vehicles into the waiting zone, but they can only pass when the left-turn signal turns green. The waiting zone is exclusively for left-turning vehicles. If the straight-moving signal is green while the left-turn signal is red, vehicles can only enter the waiting zone and wait until the left-turn signal turns green. The left-turn waiting line is not the stop line. When both the straight-moving and left-turn signals are red, all vehicles must wait at the previous stop line until the light changes. Following traffic rules: According to the traffic rule of stopping at red and proceeding at green, when the left-turn signal is red, vehicles in the waiting zone are not allowed to proceed. They must wait until the red light turns green. The left-turn waiting zone is only for left-turning vehicles.
