Should you pull out into the intersection when turning left?

If a vehicle ahead of you is signaling for a left turn, slow down and prepare to stop. If you are behind a vehicle making a left turn, do not enter the intersection in case the traffic light turns red as you might not be able to clear the intersection. Entering the intersection in this case is against the law.

Does Left Turn Yield to Right Turn?

If the driver in the car turning right has a green light at the same time as you when you attempt to make a left, then you, in the car turning left, must yield the right of away to the right turning driver.

Can you be in the intersection waiting to make a left hand turn?

Again, the answer is the same as the first example: “You may enter the intersection to prepare for your left turn if the light is green and no other vehicle ahead of you is preparing for a left turn.”

When you need to make an unprotected left turn at an intersection with a standard green light?

If you’re turning left at a green light, pull out into the intersection but wait to turn left until all oncoming traffic has passed. If you’re turning left at a four-way stop or uncontrolled intersection, you should give the right-of-way to any oncoming drivers going straight, even if you got there first.

Who has the right of way left or right?

If you reach an uncontrolled intersection at close to the same time, the vehicle who actually reached the intersection last is the driver who must yield the right of way. If you reach the intersection at the same time, the driver on the left should yield the right of way.

How do you make a left turn at an intersection?
