When to Enter the Left-Turn Waiting Lane?

[JacksonFitz]

According to the rules of the left-turn waiting area, when the straight lane has a green light and the left-turn signal is red, left-turning vehicles must still cross the pedestrian crosswalk and enter the waiting area. They should then wait until the left-turn signal turns green before making the turn. The details are as follows: 1. Exclusively for left-turning vehicles: The 'left-turn waiting area' is only for left-turning vehicles. When the straight signal in 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 before proceeding. 2. Not a stop line: Drivers should note that the left-turn waiting line is not a 'stop line.' If both the straight lane and left-turn lane signals are red, all vehicles must wait behind the original stop line.
