On the road
Seeing the familiar left-turn arrow light suddenly "change"
(The picture shows the intersection of Jiushi Road, Shulu Avenue)
Many citizens are puzzled
"Was it lit when you passed by before?"
"Could it be that the left turn light is broken?"
"To go or not to go?
……
In fact
The left turn arrow light is not broken
It's just shut down
Q: Why do you want to turn off the left turn arrow light?
Answer: After comprehensively considering the traffic flow characteristics of the intersection, the width of the road, traffic safety, traffic efficiency and other factors, the traffic police department determines that some intersections need to go straight, turn left, and release pedestrians in both directions at the same time during special periods. And according to the "Code for the Installation and Installation of Road Traffic Lights", it is necessary to turn off the "directional indicator lights" (arrow lights).
To reduce traffic conflicts
Clarify the rules for giving way to vehicles
Ensure the safety of vehicle traffic
Improve the efficiency of road access
Some left-turn arrow lights in Luzhou urban area are turned off
Only the Disc Light indication remains
so
What should I do when I turn left when passing through an intersection?
Traffic Police Class: About "Disc Lights" and "Arrow Lights"
Disc lights and arrow lights are both signal lights, but there are certain differences:
Disc lights are motor vehicle signal lights
The arrow traffic light is a directional signal light
When both the left-turn arrow light and the disc light are on, the left-turning vehicle will see the left-turn arrow light, and the straight-going vehicle will see the disc light;
When the left-turn arrow light is turned off and the disc light is red, left-turning and straight-going vehicles are prohibited from passing according to the indication of the disc light.
When the left-turn arrow light is turned off and the disc light is green, as shown in the figure, both left-turn and straight can be passed;
According to traffic laws, turning motor vehicles give way to vehicles and pedestrians going straight.
Note: When the disc light is green, vehicles turning left must pay attention to avoid vehicles and pedestrians going straight.
It is convenient for everyone to grasp the rules of passage
To sum up a sentence for everyone
Look at the "disc light" when the red light stops, the green light goes, and the left turn arrow light is off
presently
Left turn arrow lights are turned off in these parts of the city
Don't be confused
After the adjustment of the first batch of 14 intersections, we will continue to investigate other light-controlled intersections in the urban area, and make similar adjustments to some conflict intersections, so as to fully ensure the traffic safety of citizens and fully improve the travel efficiency of citizens.
Travel reminders
