Do you stop at the white line stop bar , or do you enter the middle of the intersection and wait for either a break in oncoming traffic, or for the light to change? If there is no break in oncoming traffic and the light changes to red, oncoming traffic will have to stop, and by virtue of the fact that you have entered the intersection legally, other traffic not already in the intersection must yield the right of way to you.
The reason behind this is to avoid the situation where there is so much oncoming traffic that you could be held up for many cycles of the traffic light.
If you remain behind the stop bar and the light changes, you cannot legally enter the intersection. Now, consider this: Does the above hold true if you are in a left-turn-only lane? Always yield to pedestrians within a crosswalk. Numbers on the cars in the diagrams refer to numbered sentences on these pages.
Always use your turn signals. Left turn from a two-way street. Start the turn in the left lane closest to the middle of the street. Complete the turn, if safe, in either lane of the cross street shown by the arrows. Use the center left turn lane if one is available.
A left turn may be made from the other lane, if permitted by signs or arrows. Right turn. Begin and end the turn in the lane nearest the right edge of the road. Do not swing wide into another lane of traffic. Watch for pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists between your vehicle and the curb.
Sometimes, signs or pavement markings will let you turn right from another lane as shown by the graphic. Left turn from a two-way street into a one-way street. Start the turn from the lane closest to the middle of the street. Turn into any lane that is safely open, as shown by the arrows. Left turn from a one-way street into a two-way street. Start the turn from the far left lane. Turn into either of the lanes that are safely open, as shown by the arrows.
Left turn from a one-way street into a one-way street. Watch for pedestrians, motorcyclists, and bicyclists between your vehicle and the curb because they can legally use the left turn lane for their left turns.
Right turn from a one-way street into a one-way street. Start the turn in the far right lane. If safe, you may end the turn in any lane. Sometimes, signs or pavement markings will let you turn right from another lane, as shown by the graphic. Through traffic has the right-of-way. You may turn either right or left from the center lane.
Watch for vehicles, motorcyclists, and bicyclists inside your turn. Why are people afraid to pull out into the intersection to turn left at a green light? The new thing is to hold back and then race across all lanes, ie, cars are coming. When the light is green, pull out in the intersection and proceed when light turns to red.
If you are there you have the right to finish your move!! To pull out part way or not to pull out at all, that is the question. There are drivers who suffer the slings and arrows coming from eyes and mouths of drivers who are convinced, like Scott, that you need to pull half way out to make the left. While there are others who feel safer to just wait back at the crosswalk. The driver of a vehicle intending to turn left shall approach the turn in the extreme left-hand lane lawfully available to traffic moving in the direction of travel of the vehicle.
If practicable the driver shall make the left turn from the left of the center of the intersection and shall make the turn to the left lane immediately available for the driver's direction of traffic.
