1

Is it permissible to make a left turn when the traffic signal is green?

Illustration for question 1
  • A.Yes, right away.
  • B.Yes, but you must first yield to pedestrians and oncoming vehicles.✓
  • C.Yes, but only if there is a Left Turns Allowed sign posted, and you must first yield to pedestrians and oncoming vehicles.
  • D.No.

Why: You may turn left on a green light, but you must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. A green signal does not give you the automatic right-of-way for a turn.

  • B.Stop if you can do so safely.✓
  • C.Drive through after yielding to traffic.
