What does a flashing yellow arrow indicate for left turns?

A flashing yellow arrow means you may turn left, but you must proceed with caution and yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. It signals that there isn’t an all-clear protected turn, so you wait for a safe gap in opposing traffic and for pedestrians to cross before turning. This is different from a solid green arrow (turns have the right of way) and from a solid red signal (turns must stop). As you approach, scan for pedestrians in the crosswalk and vehicles in the opposite lanes; if there’s no safe gap, stay stopped until it’s clear. When a gap appears, turn carefully and quickly to keep traffic moving safely.
