Can You Turn Left When the Straight Light is Green?

[George]

Whether you can turn left when the straight light is green depends on the situation. The details are as follows: 1. Ordinary three-color traffic light: At an intersection with a standard three-color signal light, you can turn left when the light is green, but you must yield to oncoming straight-moving vehicles. 2. Lane with arrow signals: If the lane has an arrow signal, when the straight arrow is green but the left-turn arrow is red, you cannot turn left. However, you can enter the left-turn waiting area and proceed when the left-turn arrow turns green. Traffic rules are as follows: 1. When the light is green: Vehicles are permitted to proceed, but turning vehicles must not obstruct straight-moving vehicles or pedestrians. 2. When the light is yellow: Vehicles that have already crossed the stop line may continue to proceed. 3. When the light is red: Vehicles are prohibited from proceeding.
