Question 39 of 554

Is the driver of the vehicle obliged to give way when changing the direction of travel to the left while the green signal is operating?

A no, because the green signal grants him the priority of passage;
B no, except when a public transport vehicle is approaching from the opposite direction;
C yes, both to the vehicles moving from the opposite direction and to the pedestrians who are crossing the street onto which he is about to enter, on his direction of travel.

Explanation

When you turn left in an intersection at the green colour signal of the traffic light that is addressed to you, you are obliged to give priority of passage to the vehicles that move from the opposite direction, because they encounter, like you, the green colour signal of the traffic light, a situation in which the rule of right priority applies and you must give them priority of passage because during the left turn they come from your right side. Also, you are obliged to give priority of passage to the pedestrians who lawfully cross the street onto which you want to enter, when they are on your direction of travel.

The correct answer is: C
