How do you make the turn?

I would personally just turn left at the lights and wait until it's clear.

I do this as well.

 

Just creep forward into the intersection (I usually just creep as forward as I can, so the one behind me can creep forward as well if they want to make the left turn as well), then press 2 to check the light status and the traffic ahead (yea, hate that the light is not on the opposite side of the intersection and idk who designed this which is terrible design). Once there's no one coming from the opposite side or the light turns yellow/red, you can make your turn safely 🙂

If the left turn lane is full and you cannot move into it from the right lane, you must continue straight and make a turn at the nearest possible location. From the left lane, you can either turn left or go straight. However, the right lane is strictly for going straight and cannot be used for turning left.
 

In this image, only vehicles numbered 1, 2, and 3 are allowed to turn left, but vehicle number 4 can never make a left turn.

(Can you turn left from the right lane? No, turning left from the right lane is prohibited by law. Turning left from the middle lane is only allowed if the left lane vehicles are turning and the middle lane is clear. In roundabouts, if there is no suitable lane to turn left from the middle lane, you must switch to the left lane to make the turn.)

To turn left from the "Entry" section, I follow the left lane, when the green light turns, I move towards the middle of the road and prepare myself for the left turn. When the traffic flow on the opposite road stops, I make the turn and continue.


At this point, some users may prefer to make a U-turn from the roundabout, but most of the time the roundabout is busy and it will be quite difficult to enter the right lane in this busy area.

  1. Get over in the left lane BEFORE you reach the light.
  2. Wait for the green light.
  3. Wait for traffic to clear.
  4. Make your turn so long as you aren't blocking or obstructing other traffic.
  5. If you can't turn, go through the roundabout taking the third right.
  6. Do a safe u-turn.
  7. Stay in the right lane.
  8. Make a right turn when the light is green.

I mean 

just creep forward when it's green, then when it turns yellow/red and/or the opposite traffic is clear, you are good to go 

 

Easier than all the hassles after 4 imo 

 

As long as you creeped forward and had your left signal on, you shouldn't be kicked or banned for blocking anyways 🙂

Because it's a highly populated light, you shouldn't creep forward. If you do, wait until you see traffic stopping then go. Course, there are those who assume red=green.

If your already past the lights there no need to look back if its red or not, you can just turn left when its clear
