If you are already in an intersection to turn left and the traffic light has changed to yellow, what should you do?

When you find yourself in an intersection and the traffic light changes to yellow while you are completing a left turn, the best course of action is to continue your turn to the left. The yellow light is a signal that the light will soon turn red, indicating that vehicles should clear the intersection rather than stopping abruptly.

Since you are already in the intersection when the light changes, stopping would not only be unsafe given that vehicles behind you may not anticipate a sudden stop, but it could also block oncoming traffic and increase the risk of a collision. Continuing your turn allows you to exit the intersection safely and move toward your intended direction.

It's also important to be aware of oncoming traffic and ensure that it's safe to complete your turn, as yielding to oncoming vehicles is necessary if they are present and pose a potential hazard. However, the immediate priority when already committed to a turn is to complete that maneuver safely.
