Question

Difficulty: EasyTraffic Light Signals

When approaching an intersection controlled by a flashing yellow left-turn arrow, a driver turning left has the right-of-way over oncoming vehicles moving straight through the intersection.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. A flashing yellow left-turn arrow permits drivers to turn left only after yielding to all oncoming traffic and pedestrians.
The evaluation of 'False' is correct because a flashing yellow arrow cautions drivers that turns are permitted only after yielding to oncoming vehicles and pedestrians.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal indication type.
The signal is a flashing yellow left-turn arrow.
Flashing yellow arrows are used to signify permissive (unprotected) turning movements at intersections.
2
Apply right-of-way rules for permissive left-turn signals.
Oncoming traffic proceeding straight or turning right has priority.
Unlike a steady green arrow which indicates a protected turn, a flashing yellow arrow requires turning drivers to yield to oncoming vehicles until a safe gap in traffic occurs.
