Will points be deducted for entering the straight-ahead waiting area early?
1 Answers
Entering the straight-ahead waiting area early does not result in point deductions. The waiting area is designed to alleviate traffic pressure by allowing left-turning vehicles to enter and wait in advance when straight-through traffic is permitted. Below are relevant explanations: 1. Straight-ahead waiting area: This means the intersection first releases left-turning vehicles, then straight-moving vehicles. When the left-turn signal turns green to release left-turning traffic, straight-moving vehicles can proceed into the straight-ahead waiting area. They can then quickly pass through the intersection when the straight signal turns green. 2. Left-turn waiting area: The left-turn waiting area is the lane entered when the left-turn signal is red but the straight signal is green. Its rules differ from those of the straight-ahead waiting area.
