Explanation
If you are trying to make a left turn at an intersection but traffic traveling in the opposite direction is blocking the road, you should proceed to the center of the intersection, stop, and yield to vehicles with the right-of-way. Remember to use your turn signals to clearly communicate your intentions to other drivers.
