Explanation
If you want to make a left turn at an intersection, you must wait for oncoming traffic to go through before completing the turn. If the traffic light is green and there aren't other vehicles ahead of you planning to make a left turn, you may enter the intersection to prepare for your left turn. When traffic headed toward you clears or stops at a red light, you may complete your turn after checking that you can do so safely.
