Topic 3 · Rules of the Road: Traffic Laws in California
You are turning left at a green light with no arrow. You must yield to:
- Only vehicles that have already entered the intersection
- Nobody, because the green light protects your turn
- Pedestrians and any approaching vehicle close enough to be dangerous — correct answer
Why
A green light without an arrow does not protect the turn. Check for pedestrians first and give way to any approaching vehicle close enough to be a danger. (Section 7, Intersections.)

Reading one answer is not the same as sitting the test. The simulator runs the first-time adult form: 36 questions, 6 mistakes allowed, 83% to pass.
