What to Do When the Light Turns Red Mid-Left Turn?
1 Answers
During a left turn, if the traffic light turns red halfway through, it is not considered running a red light. The driver can continue the left turn until reaching the normal driving path. Below is more information about the left-turn waiting area for vehicles: 1. Introduction: The "left-turn waiting area" refers to the zone where vehicles in the left-turn lane must advance when the straight-through signal for the same direction turns green, waiting for the signal to change before making the turn. The left-turn lane is extended with several meters of white dashed lines connecting to the middle of the road, marking the "left-turn waiting area." 2. Notes: The "left-turn waiting area" is exclusively for left-turning vehicles. When the straight-through signal for the same direction is green, even if the left-turn signal is red, left-turning vehicles are allowed to enter the "left-turn waiting area" at the intersection and wait until the left-turn signal turns green to proceed through the intersection without penalty.
