What is the difference between the waiting-to-turn and turning hand signals?
1 Answers
When pulling over to the side, extend your right arm and hand straight, raising them at about a 45-degree angle, then extend and raise your left arm overhead while swinging your right arm to the right. The waiting-to-turn signal simply involves swinging the arm on the side you intend to turn (left or right) up and down between 0 and 90 degrees relative to your body. The left-turn signal is performed by extending the arm horizontally straight, while the waiting-to-turn signal involves extending the arm at a downward angle. The "pull over" signal and the "signal for illegal vehicles to pull over" have been combined into a single "signal for vehicles to pull over." Similarly, the "go straight" and "go straight and accelerate" signals have been merged into a single "go straight" signal. The differences between the left-turn waiting signal and the slow-down signal are as follows: 1. The correct method to enter the left-turn waiting area is: when the straight-ahead signal is green but the left-turn signal is red, vehicles should wait at the intersection stop line for the signal to proceed; when the straight-ahead signal turns green, left-turning vehicles can then enter the left-turn waiting area to await the signal to proceed. 2. When the left-turn signal turns green: vehicles waiting in the waiting area should promptly proceed through the intersection. Drivers should take special care not to enter the waiting area when the straight-ahead or left-turn signals are red, as this disrupts the normal flow of traffic from other directions. 3. Lanes: Left small turns and left large turns are simply driving lanes set up based on existing intersection conditions, but drivers should choose the appropriate lane based on the size and height of their vehicle. Therefore, correctly distinguishing between the left-turn waiting signal and the pull-over signal is especially important in daily driving.
