Explanation
If you are turning left at an intersection, oncoming traffic has the right-of-way. Before turning left at an intersection, you must yield to oncoming vehicles, bicyclists and pedestrians, and wait until there is a safe gap in traffic before making the turn. Failing to yield to oncoming traffic can result in a collision or other traffic incidents.
