When Should a Vehicle Enter the Left-Turn Waiting Area?

[MacLouis]

When a vehicle should enter the left-turn waiting area: 1. When the straight and left-turn signals ahead are red, vehicles must not enter the 'left-turn waiting area' and should wait behind the stop line; otherwise, it constitutes running a red light, which incurs a 6-point penalty. 2. When the straight signal in the same direction turns green, left-turning vehicles should enter the left-turn waiting area to await the release signal. 3. When the left-turn signal turns green, vehicles waiting in the waiting area should promptly pass through the intersection. The 'left-turn waiting area' refers to the 'area designated for waiting to make a left turn,' which is an extension of the leftmost left-turn lane on some roads, stretching onto the sidewalk or even into the middle of the road.
