Tips to easily see oncoming traffic when waiting to make a left turn at a traffic light?

For example, you are waiting to turn left on a green light and so is another car in the opposite direction. When there is a car facing me and waiting to turn left, it is hard for me to see if there is oncoming traffic and how far away oncoming traffic is. I always want to know for sure whether it is safe to make a left turn or not. Thanks in advance!

Try to be closer to the left side of the turning lane. Maybe that would help. Creep in the intersection and turn quickly when you see nobody coming. The reason you'll want to turn quickly is because in case there was somebody coming, you wouldn't want to be in the way or get hit.

You may have to wait for a green arrow if you can't see oncoming traffic.


Friendly Stranger..
When approaching a traffic light, always take note of the following

* If the light is green, you may proceed. It is always advisable to slow down at a green light and check for approaching traffic.
* If you are turning right, the approaching traffic has the right of way. Wait for the approaching traffic to pass and proceed.
* If you are turning left and the light is green, you may do so, but always check for approaching traffic also turning.
* If approaching a traffic light and the light turns red, please slow down as amber indicates the light will soon be turning red. Never try to speed up and pass through an amber light, always stop until the light turns green again.
