one trip in typical traffic
Nobody understands a lot of basic rules.
My drivers manual didnt go into double traffic lights with arrows and location specific rules. It just said they would be red, yellow, and green.
So my basic confusion is: I can turn left on a green light when there is also an arrow I'm waiting for? I dont have to wait for the arrow. Wait I havent seen this because it would just be solved with a specific turning lane where I live.
That's because where you live likes to make people wait and sit at left turn lanes when there's 0 oncoming traffic. This is the perfect intersection, and I missed them from Arizona. You can turn if it's safe, but if it's busy and there's no safe time, you'll eventually get a protected left.
You know how to turn at an unprotected left, right? That's in the drivers manual. You know how to turn at a protected left as well. This is just both at the same intersection. It's really not that complicated
Ok this comment is based and also helpful thanks
