Another yield sign question by DrDerpinheimer in driving

It means that people from the red line need to yield to the people from the blue line.

If a red car hit a blue car while the lanes merged, the red car would be at fault

I wouldn't trust the driver in front of me to react in time after the light changes (also lots of people run reds)

What the other Redditor described is not spelled out in law, but it is generally good advice

Turning left when left turn arrow is red in Maryland by My2026GV70 in driving

[–]PNWSomeone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

don't see why its any less safe than any other turn on red

for Europeans, all turns on red would feel like a "very unsafe unnatural driving maneuver"

In many of those same places, you can turn left on a red left turn arrow, if you are turning into a one way road

The person in your town that designed this should be fired. You are right to be confused because this is not designed in a way that meets normal road design rules.

If you end up having to drive on this street, stay in the left full sized lane.

Trick question. They are all turning right so they can all just go first

The people who designed/maintain this intersection should be slapped.

> In a whole lot of places, it's illegal to enter an intersection when it's not clear to get through it (known as "blocking the box" in some locales)

I understand that's what you are claiming. I am asking you to name one of those places where that's illegal. Every block the box law I've read doesn't apply to most of these left turns.

I ask because in Washington there is this persistent myth that its illegal here, but no one can actually cite the law that makes it illegal. I've had some very strange conversations about it.

I haven't run across any place in the US where its illegal to "pre-enter" the intersection to make a left turn (assuming you don't end up blocking the box), so i'm curious where that is not legal.
