直行車禁止通行,左轉車通行.
Some intersections have separate traffic lights for left-turning traffic and for traffic going through the intersection or turning right.
When a left-turn green arrow appears for traffic in the left-turn lane, traffic going straight ahead or turning right will usually see a red light. You may turn left from the left-turn lane when you face a green arrow. Vehicles from the opposite direction may also be turning left.
****************************************************
直行車通行,左轉車禁止通行.
After the yellow light, a red light appears for left-turning vehicles only. Traffic going straight ahead or turning right will face a green light or green arrows pointing straight ahead and to the right.
In these intersections, you may not begin turning left after the green light appears for traffic going straight ahead or turning right. If the light turns yellow while you are in the intersection, complete your turn with caution.
在易肇事路口設置左轉專用燈
剛從美國回台灣開車最不習慣的是車流量大的路口沒有左轉專用燈,
時常要等到快紅燈時才能快速左轉,
好幾次都是險象環生.
不能在易肇事路口多設置左轉專用燈嗎?
相信如此也能減少直行機車被對向左轉車輛碰撞的機率.
