Difficulty: EasyRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

You are at an intersection intending to make a left turn while facing a circular solid green traffic signal. Oncoming vehicles are approaching straight through the intersection from the opposite direction. What is the proper right-of-way procedure in this situation?

  1. Yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic and complete the left turn only when a safe gap exists.Answer
  2. B
    Turn left immediately because a solid green light grants priority over oncoming straight traffic.
  3. C
    Come to a complete stop and remain stationary behind the line until the signal light turns red.
  4. D
    Accelerate quickly to complete the turn before oncoming traffic reaches the intersection.

Answer

Yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic and complete the left turn only when a safe gap exists.
When facing a circular solid green signal, left turns are unprotected. Drivers making a left turn must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic moving straight or turning right, proceeding only when it is entirely safe to do so.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal status and planned maneuver.
The signal is a solid green circle and the driver intends to turn left across oncoming traffic.
A solid green circular light indicates an unprotected left turn maneuver.
2
Determine right-of-way precedence.
Oncoming traffic traveling straight through the intersection has the right-of-way.
Drivers turning left across traffic must yield to vehicles approaching from the opposite direction.
3
Execute the turn safely.
Wait until oncoming traffic clears or presents a safe distance buffer before turning left.
Ensures compliance with standard intersection right-of-way laws and prevents collisions.
