New signage paradigm

So long as a leftwards arrow is lit and you drive with appropriate care, you can turn left from any lane. Even if that means passing a red light (because the middle lane in question isn't yet showing a "straight ahead" green arrow)? Yes, provided the lanes are just white lines, not kerbs. The one I'm thinking of has a small traffic island, but you could turn left past it; in other words you are saying the silver hatchback here could immediately turn left (despite being in the wrong lane and facing a red light): http://tinyurl.com/6kkff8b No, because there are separate stop lines for the two sets of lights. Does it require a physical barrier like the traffic island to create *separate* stop lines - or could paint achieve it as well? Dunno, I'd need to see an example. I'm thinking of junctions like Cross Street (A56) and Dane Road in Sale. 4 1/2 lanes, markings for left, ahead, ahead, right but only one stop line (+two 'advance' stop lines), no kerbs / separate slip roads. However, two complete sets of lights to allow turning on a filter, from any lane. |
