Zorluk: OrtaRight-of-Way Rules at Intersections

When a traffic signal displays a steady green arrow for a dedicated left-turn lane at an intersection, the driver turning left must yield the right-of-way to oncoming traffic proceeding straight.

Cevap: Cevap

Cevap

False. A steady green arrow indicates a protected left turn, granting right-of-way to the turning vehicle because oncoming traffic faces a solid red signal.
The statement is false because a steady green arrow designates a protected turn phase. Under standard traffic laws, oncoming traffic faces a red signal while the green arrow is displayed, allowing the left-turning driver to proceed without yielding to oncoming straight-through vehicles.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Identify the type of traffic signal indicated in the scenario
The signal is a steady green arrow pointing left.
Traffic control laws distinguish between protected signals (arrows) and permissive/unprotected signals (solid circular green lights).
2
Determine the right-of-way priority associated with a green arrow signal
A green arrow grants a protected turn phase, meaning oncoming straight-through traffic is held by a red light.
Standard DMV traffic regulations establish that protected movements have right-of-way over opposing through movements.
3
Evaluate the truth of the assertion
The statement asserts that left-turning drivers on a green arrow must yield to oncoming traffic, which is incorrect.
Because yielding to oncoming traffic is only required during an unprotected turn (solid green circle), the assertion is false.
