What is the proper way to use a left-turn waiting area?

[AlyssaAnn]

According to the rules of the left-turn waiting area, when the straight-through traffic light is green and the left-turn signal is still red, left-turning vehicles must also cross the pedestrian crosswalk and enter the left-turn waiting area. They should wait until the left-turn signal turns green before making the turn. This is the proper way to use a left-turn waiting area. The functions of the left-turn waiting area are as follows: The primary benefit of setting up a left-turn waiting area is to increase the capacity of left-turn lanes at intersections, reduce the waiting time for drivers passing through the intersection, and improve the intersection's traffic efficiency. However, drivers should be reminded that the left-turn waiting line is not a "stop line." If both the straight-through and left-turn signals are red, all vehicles must wait at the previous stop line.
