I was told that when turning left at a typical 4-way intersection and waiting for a clearing in oncoming traffic I should pull out to the center of the intersection (about the yellow lines on the street I am turning onto), which theoretically allows opposing/oncoming traffic to do the same turn the opposite way. But sometimes I've been honked at even while doing that and it's obvious that there's no clearance in opposing traffic so I guess they want me to go almost all the way across the intersection even though that would take out the space for any left-turners coming from the other way.A one-way intersection is different I suppose - then it doesn't matter how far you pull out. I think people are also (irrationally) afraid of blocking-the-box tickets, and I'm not sure what criteria the officers use in issuing those, but every time I can think of that I've seen one given the car was going straight through the intersection and just didn't have enough room on the other side. |
