Motorists should wait for pedestrians to cross first if there is any conflict. but it makes perfect sense for cars to first complete their turns if it does not cause the pedestrian to slow down or stop. Wrong answer on a DMV question. Motorists should wait for pedestrians if the person is legally crossing the intersection before the vehicle enters, even after a signal change to green. Your link does not work. fixed link here. See section 1151 of the NY State VTL in that page. As for left turns vs right turns, I do not get it. You are merely trading one for the other. Left turns are more dangerous to make than right turn, and unless there are dedicated left turn lanes - - it slows down traffic too. On a left turn at an intersection with no turn lanes, vehicles must wait behind the turning vehicle (of course when the lead vehicle decides to signal at the intersection instead of at least 100 feet before it then it's bad for the vehicles trying to go around it.) Many intersections in NYC and also other cities ban left turns based an a variety of factors: Crash data, number of vehicles, alternative streets, and area prior to the intersection, such as a curve about 100 feet away. At Baychester Ave and East 233rd Street/Grenada Ave in the Bronx, left turns from eastbound 233 onto northbound Baychester in 2015 because it was most likely due to a high crash data on left turns there as well as a curve on westbound 233 (oncoming traffic.). There are many valid reasons why left turns are far different to approach than right turns. |
