How to Interpret a Three-Light Traffic Signal?
1 Answers
When encountering a traffic signal with three circular lights arranged side by side, which are full-screen lights without directional indicators, the general configuration is as follows: the leftmost light is for left turns, the middle light is for straight-through traffic, and the rightmost light is for right turns. The direction corresponding to a green light is permitted to proceed, while a red light indicates that movement in that direction is prohibited. Typically, the vertical sequence of these lights from top to bottom is: red, yellow, green. Rules for navigating intersections without traffic signals: 1. With traffic signs: At intersections controlled by traffic signs or road markings, vehicles that have the right of way to proceed to the center of the intersection should be allowed to pass first. 2. Without traffic signs: At intersections without traffic signs or road markings, vehicles must stop upon reaching the intersection to observe the traffic conditions. If a vehicle approaches from the right, it has the right of way. 3. Turning vehicles yield to straight-through traffic: Vehicles intending to turn must yield to vehicles going straight. 4. Right-turning vehicles yield to left-turning vehicles: At intersections where vehicles are approaching from opposite directions, right-turning vehicles must yield to left-turning vehicles.
