I really hate yellow flashing arrows. Protected left turn lights are better imo
I have recently moved to a new state and into an area where the flashing left arrow light is prevalent and often lit for an extended time, so I welcome the reassurance from watching the video. Despite many years of driving, I had rarely seen this signal and was affected by it only at congested and busy intersections, where I could not have proceeded without stopping first, andwhere it was lit rather briefly. Encountering it in this new environment, I initially was doubtful I could proceed without stopping first. Only knowing the basic rules for yellow and red lights guided me correctly the first time I was faced with it in this novel environment.
When you have a flashing arrow enter the damn intersection too. Makes it quicker to and easier to turn once theres an opening. You also have already entered the intersection if the light turns yellow or red so you're able to complete your turn
The content on your channel is excellent, I follow your work, all the best and as many reviews as possible
The new traffic lights where I am only have 2 left arrows: Solid red and flashing green (protected left turn). All modern traffic lights only allow protected left turns in my area, there are no more left turns "at your risk" other than older traffic lights that haven't been updated yet.
In Norway, there is no yellow arrows, none, Flashing yellow indicates signals out of order, i.e. follow other markings signs and basic rules. In this case the yellow arrow would have been a red sign. No left turn until green arrow.
I have encountered this earlier as im a beginner from driving , I was bit confused earlier but I just followed the 2 cars in front of me and they didn't even yield because the upcoming traffic is empty , now I know.
Awesome work 👍
This is incorrect!
Since the rules of the road regarding a yellow light is to “proceed with caution and prepare to stop” and since the left turning vehicle is already behind the crosswalk yielding to the obvious oncoming traffic, he is already obeying the rules of the yellow light. For him to proceed into the intersection would violate that rule by him possibly “blocking the box” when yellow light turns red. So i think number one would be the correct answer for this scenario.
Rules may vary from state to state - I learned to drive in California, and there was a difference between a yellow light and a flashing yellow light. The former indicated the light was about to turn red, whilst the latter meant to treat the light as a yield sign (many lights where I lived changed from green/yellow/red sequence to flashing yellow (yield) or flashing red (treat as a stop sign) late at night.
The US is weird. Yellow means stop, unless it's unsafe to do so. So flashing yellow means proceed with caution? That makes no sense. The only color that should be used to proceed is GREEN. How did green (non arrow) become confusing to Americans?
There used to be so many of these in my city but they are disappearing in favor of the green arrow; probably due to all the accidents they are associated with when motorists try to beat the oncoming traffic.
In my country, the blinking yellow means that the traffic lights or for pedestrian crossings it's a warning sign for the drivers to take care of any pedestrian that is still crossing the road, and at the same time, for pedestrians is a blinking green man, which means don't start crossing, or if you already did hurry up.
In California, arrowed lights indicate oncoming traffic is not Green (no need to yield). If light is solid yellow or green, but you’re in a turn lane, you need to yield to oncoming traffic. Some intersections will have an arrowed light and change to solid as yielding is required.
This is the way it is in Canada as well. It is called an Advanced green. If the left turn has an arrow the oncoming traffic has to yield
Could you please tell me how to make this kind of animation effects？
We have the exact same traffic light. Vehicle turning left yields to on coming traffic
hmmm, this is guesswork, in Germany flashing yellow light means, the traffic light is turned off, and you're on the road who has to give way, according to the additional signs next to the traffic light.
However, as this question asks specific for the left turning lane with a blinking yellow, this writting thing above wouldnt make any sence.
So now i have two options,
a) i have to yield to the incoming traffice
b) stop and wait for the next signal.
i have the feeling it's stopping
edit after finishing the video: now i noticed that there are 4 lights for the turning lane OO
😮😮I had this situation years ago. I got a ticket for ENTERING the intersection before it was clear for me to complete my turn. This was because the light turned red while I was waiting on the traffic from the other direction to clear the road.
I live in Arkansas and did as i was supposed to, was gonna turn left but a car was coming so i stopped to let em go but they stopped for me yet they had the right of way I was confused asf, and my mom whos been driving over 20 years still gets confused at that same light🤦🏼♂️
Kendrick, are you a robot?
Number 2 didn't mention that you may enter the intersection part, which you ultimately stated.
since I don't know American traffic lights, I guess
yield and when free turn left
But the blinking is irritating and I don't know what it means
I prefer a solid green arrow on the traffic light
Solid green arrow would mean you can turn and oncoming traffic has a red light.
Some intersections don't have yellow or flashing turn signals, and if there is not a red turn signal on, you yield then turn.
I've in North America and have been driving for over 30 years. I've never seen this type of light. It doesn't make any sense. What is described is accomplished by using a steady green light. Also, the drawing shows the yellow light in the bottom position.
In the way more modern Netherlands, where i come from, they would get rid of this stupid rule and keep the light for the left turn on red. The crossing is too busy for your rule. On smaller/ one lane crossings we have that both directions go on green and because straight going traffic has priority on turning of traffic, the turning left traffic has to wait. But on a crossing like yours, where the left turning traffic has its own lane, it would stay red untill it has green, together with the opposite left-turner.
However, we do have flashing orange traffic lights at intersections. Though that means the the traffic lights are either jot functioning, or turnt off. So you'll have to revert to lower priority signaling, like signs, road markings, and just the default rules for intersections. Or in some cases there will be a traffic officer guiding the flow, in those cases follow them.
@@mike140298 that is the same here too. Mostly at night or when there is hardly any traffic. Detector wiring in the road surface and the mobile telefone signals are used to detect the amount of traffic. Here is a link with the Dutch Smart Traffic lights.

1) Flushing yellow means that intersection is not controlled by traffic lights, therefore not controlled. So, the "right hand right-of-way" rule applies. Flushing yellow means truck and a green car cannot have a green light. They only can have also "flushing yellow".
2) 2:08 _Do not begin the turn before the intersection is cleared_ means that red car turning left must stay before the crosswalk markings all time before no one else crossing it. Well, following that "rule" it could happen that red car wait forever depending on the traffic from other 3 directions. (???). Something does not click here.
i've never seen yellow arrows, dont know where this is from
They have these types of lights all over Utah.
If this happened in Las Vegas, the driver of the red car in the Left Turn lane would change his mind last minute and decide he wants to go straight and hits the gas to beat all the other cars or cuts them off to have his way.
LOL!
A flashing yellow arrow?!?! I was taught in Driver Ed that a flashing yellow is a yield sign, and a flashing red is a stop sign. But I only ever encountered one once on a very rural road in "Cowtown" upstate New York in which the main county road had flashing yellows in both directions, and the intersecting country roads had flashing reds. There's no such thing as a flashing yellow arrow, or at least I've never seen one and I have no idea what that means (I live in New York in the USA). I guess if I ever encountered one, I'd treat it like a yield sign but just for the direction of the arrow. So in this example, if I was the red car, I'd wait for the green car and the semi truck, and then make my turn when there was no oncoming traffic.
I still get confused with turning yield if there’s a flashing yellow arrow. Im questions:
1. Are the cars on your left and right always already on stopped? That’s why it’s safe to proceed?
2. That green car is on the right turn turn am i right?
3. I made a left turn many times already but I don’t feel i did it safely, mostly i would just stop on the yellow light 🥴
Now lets say there was a driver in the other turning lane that is face where the red car mentioned in this video is and the ligh's green for the red and green cars and that other turning lane I mentioned above but the light is yellow or flashing yellow for the red car mentioned in this video how would the red car mentioned in this video not block the other turning car i mentioned above? Also how would the red car mentioned in this video be able to go past the flashing yellow light or a light that's about to turn yellow to make its left turn (while that other turning lane car I mentioned above) would be turned/turning into its correct lane?
This looks like Roblox Greenville, but look at this!
I'm still trying to understand how #3 would even work, how do you proceed with a turn AND not turn?
You drive sideways.
First one that actually stumped me, as I've never encountered a flashing yellow at an intersection before. I guess it's an American thing
Thats because he has it wrong. Oncoming traffic would never have right away on an advanced turn like that
I failed in culver city for bein patient
The flashing yellow left turn arrow is redundant. The old simple green light accomplishes the same thing. In the absence of this arrow, one STILL must yield to oncoming traffic! Now the flashing yellow RIGHT turn arrow stumps most people! THEY STOP and look to their left. The cross traffic has a red light in this case. What you must yield to is the cross traffic U-turns into the same direction you are going. These flashing yellow lights recently implemented has confused 90% of drivers it seems.
If the arrow is green, oncoming traffic has a red light and is not allowed to move (unless they are waiting to turn themselves and already in the middle of the intersection when the light turned red). The green arrow does NOT have the same effect. The green arrow says “Make your turn. If you are not turning this way, you must stay still.”
@@andrewm6424 And what does that have to do with what I posted? I did not mention anything about green arrows.
I pick 2 Yield and then proceed
2 or 1
stop and be prepare

Sad that people don’t this

Yield and then proceed.
No 2
You yield and then proceed with caution

There is no such thing as a flashing yellow turnlight where I live. There is a flashing green turned arrows that has the traffic opposite you on a red.
I've never seen a flashing yellow arrow but I would assume it means yield and then proceed.
What Should You Do? Try not to get run over by a semi-truck.
Technically both 1 and 2 is correct because what if the traffic lights turned red as you approach.
alwayse stop when its red wait till its green no matter what
Stop and be prepared to obey...
By your command..... 🤣
The Correct Answer Is 2 Yield and Then Proceed With Caution
