Is there a right-turn waiting area?
1 Answers
Generally, there is no waiting area for right turns, and vehicles can proceed directly when the light is green. At larger intersections, especially under overpasses, to effectively regulate traffic flow, left-turning vehicles may enter a waiting area. Once the light turns green, they can proceed with the left turn. Introduction to the left-turn waiting area: The left-turn waiting area is a section of dashed lane extending forward from the stop line at a traffic light intersection. It is primarily designed to improve traffic efficiency by providing a designated area for left-turning vehicles to wait. When to enter the waiting area: When both the straight and left-turn signals are red. If the straight and left-turn signals are red, vehicles must not enter the 'left-turn waiting area' and should wait behind the stop line. Otherwise, it will be considered running a red light, resulting in a 6-point penalty.
