Difficulty: EasyTurning Procedures and Signaling

When approaching an intersection with a solid circular green traffic light, a driver intends to turn left. Which of the following describes the correct procedure regarding oncoming traffic?

  1. Yield the right-of-way to oncoming vehicles traveling straight or turning right before executing the turn.Answer
  2. B
    Proceed immediately, as a solid green light grants right-of-way to turning vehicles over oncoming straight-through traffic.
  3. C
    Yield only to vehicles arriving from the right side, applying uncontrolled intersection right-of-way rules.
  4. D
    Execute the turn without stopping if the turn signal was activated at least 50 feet before reaching the intersection.

Answer

Yield the right-of-way to oncoming vehicles traveling straight or turning right before executing the turn.
At an intersection with a solid circular green signal, left turns are unprotected. Drivers turning left must yield to all oncoming traffic proceeding straight or making right turns until it is safe to complete the maneuver.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal type
The traffic signal displays a solid circular green light.
A solid circular green light allows left turns only when yield rules are properly satisfied.
2
Determine right-of-way requirements
Unprotected left-turning traffic must yield to all oncoming traffic moving straight or turning right.
Oncoming straight and right-turning traffic has priority over unprotected left turns.
