Which Signal to Watch When Turning Left?
1 Answers
When there is a dedicated left-turn traffic light, proceed when it turns green. If there is no dedicated left-turn signal, you may turn left when the straight-ahead light is green. Precautions for using turn signals are as follows: While driving: When traffic in your lane is congested and you need to change lanes, check the adjacent lane through the rearview mirror to ensure it is clear. Without obstructing vehicles in other lanes, activate the corresponding turn signal before changing lanes. When making a U-turn: Activate the left turn signal and observe for any oncoming vehicles in front or behind before executing the turn. Honking: On road sections without a solid centerline marking, when overtaking, activate the left turn signal and honk. If being overtaken, yield by moving to the right. When pulling over to park: Activate the right turn signal in advance and observe the traffic situation to the right rear before pulling over. When leaving a parking spot: Activate the left turn signal in advance and observe the traffic situation to the left rear before merging into the traffic lane.
