You must yield to oncoming traffic when turning left except when?

• A. You must yield to oncoming traffic
• B. You have a green arrow
• C. You have a red light
• D. You are in a roundabout

Answer: (B)

When turning left, you normally must yield to oncoming traffic. The exception is when you have a protected left-turn signal—a green arrow. That signal indicates opposing traffic is stopped for you, so you can complete the turn without waiting. Without the green arrow, a plain green light doesn’t protect your turn, and you’d still need to yield to oncoming vehicles. A red light means you must stop, and in a roundabout you yield to traffic already in the circle. So the best answer is having a green arrow.
