Yup. The on coming cars have the right away. 3 times thoOriginally Posted by Rexanglorum
Based on your name, avy and sig, I assume that you're living here in California.
If the arrow is green, you have the right off way.
If the arrow is red, you cannot even try to left left.
When you got a green light and no arrow, you are allowed to commit, go straight into the intersection and when there are no on coming cars and no pedestrians in the cross walk, go for it.
Just be shure to be super cautious and tentative when taking your test but after you pass the way it works in most California cities is you take it if you can thread that needle and if it is rush hour, two cars go on red per light.

I have been going into the middle of the intersection and waiting , but what if the worst case scenario arises and no one gives me the right of way and it turns red while im in the middle of the intersection???

if it turns red, the cars will stop coming in that direction so you will have a chance to turn left before the light goes green in the other direction

If you are stuck in the intersection at a red light, it would only be due to a car in the opposite direction running a red light. You can sense when traffic is coming to a stop at the yellow. Also, be considerate of the cars behind you. Nothing worse than the clueless drivers that go one car per light, especially when I'm eight cars back.
