The “Left Turn Yield on Green” sign is used in some countries to indicate that a left turn can be made when the traffic light turns green, but only if there are no pedestrians crossing the road.
When a driver makes a left turn at an intersection, they must yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians who may be crossing the street. The driver should also look for cars coming from their right and turning left. If there’s no one approaching on either side and the car has a green light, then they can proceed with their turn.
In some countries, including Australia, Canada and New Zealand, this type of sign is used to indicate that left turns can be made when traffic lights turn green. However, it’s important to note that this only applies if there are no pedestrians crossing the road or if they have already crossed safely. The sign itself doesn’t mean anything else; it isn’t used as an indication for other types of vehicles or traffic rules such as speed limit signs or stop signs.
