Although some traffic rules may never be necessary for drivers, it is important to know them all. Today we invite you to answer the question of which vehicle can turn in this situation. This kind of brain exercise will benefit both beginners and experienced drivers. So which vehicle can turn at this intersection?
Remember that experienced drivers know well when to pay attention to the signs and when they are irrelevant because of the traffic lights. This is what our task is about today. We will say right away that the correct answer will be published in the second part of the article.
So, the picture shows an intersection approached by two vehicles: gray and red. One car wants to turn left and the other wants to turn right. Which car can turn without breaking traffic rules? Or are there certain signs that prohibit doing that?
So, let’s start with the red car. The main section of the traffic light is red, and the additional section is green. However, it is not suitable for a vehicle that intends to turn left. This means that the driver of this car has to stop and wait for the traffic signal to change.
The green arrow allows the driver of the gray car to turn right. True, there are also signs “Main Road” and “Direction of Main Road”, which have no meaning in this situation. These signs help determine the driving order, but not the permitted direction of movement.
Also in this situation we see the sign “Go straight”. Although the traffic light allows the gray car to turn right, this sign prohibits such a maneuver. How to act in such a situation?
Although the traffic light cancels the significance of the main and secondary roads, they cannot cancel the significance of the “Go straight” sign.
In other words, you can only go straight at this intersection. So, neither car can turn at this intersection. We hope that it was not difficult for you to answer correctly.
