Explanation
When making a left turn, you must yield to oncoming traffic that is close enough to pose a hazard. If in doubt, wait for traffic to pass before turning. At intersections, if a vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction and going straight, you must let it pass before turning left. You may enter the intersection on a green light to prepare for your turn, but only if no other vehicle ahead of you is also turning left.
