A driver arrives at an intersection intending to make a left turn and faces a solid circular green traffic signal. Oncoming vehicles are approaching from the opposite direction, and pedestrians are entering the marked crosswalk of the street the driver wishes to turn onto. Which of the following actions is legally required of the driver?
- Yield the right-of-way to both oncoming traffic and pedestrians, completing the turn only when a safe gap exists.Cevap
- BComplete the left turn immediately without stopping, as a solid green circular signal grants right-of-way over oncoming traffic.
- CCome to a complete mandatory stop prior to the limit line and wait until the signal light cycles to a red light before turning.
- DProceed into the intersection and turn freely under the assumption that traffic signals override all standard right-of-way yielding rules.
Cevap
Yield the right-of-way to both oncoming traffic and pedestrians, completing the turn only when a safe gap exists.
When facing a solid circular green light, left-turning drivers are executing an unprotected turn. Traffic rules require turning vehicles to yield the right-of-way to all oncoming vehicles close enough to pose a hazard, as well as any pedestrians crossing within the intersection or marked crosswalks.
