When to Enter the Left-Turn Waiting Zone?
1 Answers
When the straight and left-turn signals ahead are red, vehicles are not allowed to enter the left-turn waiting zone and must wait behind the stop line; otherwise, it will be considered running a red light, resulting in a 6-point penalty. When the straight signal in the same direction turns green, left-turning vehicles can enter the left-turn waiting zone to await the signal to proceed. When the left-turn signal turns green, vehicles waiting in the zone should promptly pass through the intersection. Below is more information about the left-turn waiting zone: 1. The left-turn waiting zone is an area where left-turning vehicles must advance when the straight signal in the same direction turns green, waiting for the signal to change before turning. The left-turn lane is extended by several meters with a white dashed line frame, connecting directly to the middle of the road. These white dashed lines mark the left-turn waiting zone. 2. When the straight signal in the same direction turns green, left-turning vehicles enter the waiting zone in advance. The left-turn waiting zone extends from the original vehicle stop line to the center of the road, with a slight curve at the end and crossing the pedestrian crossing in the middle. At intersections with a left-turn waiting zone, traffic signals follow the rule of straight movement first, followed by left turns.
