You want to turn left at an intersection with a green light. No left-turn arrow is lit and there is no unprotected-left-turn sign. Which TWO statements are correct? Select TWO
- Your car (blue) is at the stop line in lane 1 and wants to turn left
- Green light (left-turn arrow off)
- No unprotected-left-turn sign
- Car A is approaching from the opposite side to go straight
The directions you may go on a circular green light are set out in Table 2 of the Enforcement Rule of the Road Traffic Act, and a left turn is allowed only where there is an unprotected left turn sign or marking. Note that the absence of oncoming traffic does not replace a left-turn signal.
Answer: ①, ③
Explanation
On a green circular light, vehicles may go straight or turn right; a left turn is allowed only where an unprotected-left-turn sign or marking is installed (Enforcement Rule, Annex 2). There is no such sign here, so you must wait for the green arrow, while car A may go straight on its green light. Turning left because no oncoming car is in sight, or treating green as permission to go in any direction, is a signal violation.
