Not that simple. Guy turning right has to have some sort of light..green or red. Green, good to go, red, he has to yield to left turners. He would not know if the left turner has an arrow or not.

Example are school buses. They will not turn right on red regardless of traffic in my town.

In Baton Rouge at the intersection of Old Jefferson and Highland, those left hand turners DGAF about the right hand turn lane.


I’m pretty sure there is a yield sign there for the right hand turners. I hope so. At that intersection, I’m one of those left hand turners that DGAF about the right hand lane.

There is an intersection by the house with a dedicated right hand turning lane that includes a yield sign. If opposing left hand turning traffic has a green light, not a green arrow, which yield supersedes the other? Do I need to yield while turning right, or do they need to yield while turning left. Keep in mind, there is a yield sign in this case.


Right turn before a cross traffic left turn....unless there are dedicated lights.

None of this matters if you turn into your correct lane. You can both turn at the same time (assuming it's a 4 lane road).
