In busy city traffic, non-motorized drivers need to follow certain traffic rules to ensure their own safety and the safety of others. This article will introduce in detail the correct operation steps of non-motorized vehicles when making left turns, and help you master a safe and civilized way of travel.
1.Slow down in advance.
When approaching an intersection that requires a left turn, slow down in advance so that you have enough time to observe the road conditions and ensure a safe turn. At the same time, slowing down can also reduce the risk of accidents.
2.Turn on your turn signal.
Before preparing to make a left turn, turn signals should be turned on to warn vehicles and pedestrians behind to avoid them. Turning on your turn signals can help improve traffic efficiency and reduce traffic accidents.
3.Follow the principle of "secondary street crossing".
At some intersections with large traffic flows, non-motorized vehicles need to follow the principle of "secondary crossing". The specific operation is: first, push the non-motorized vehicle to the waiting area in the center of the intersection, and cross the road to the opposite waiting area when the green light is on; Then, when the red light is on, wait for the green light again and cross the road to complete the left turn. Following the principle of "double crossing" can reduce the risk of traffic accidents.
4.Pay attention to the road conditions.
During a left turn, you should always pay attention to the road conditions to ensure that the turn is timed appropriately. Factors to be observed include: the driving condition of vehicles in the motor lane, the traffic conditions of pedestrians and non-motor vehicles, etc. Left turns are only possible when it is safe to do so.
5.Remain smooth during turning.
During a left turn, you should keep driving smoothly and avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration to avoid causing accidents. At the same time, you should follow the guidance of traffic signs and markings to ensure that the driving route complies with the regulations.
6.Turn off your turn signals in time after turning.
When you have completed the left turn operation, you should turn off the turn signal immediately to avoid misleading other vehicles and pedestrians. At the same time, traffic rules should continue to be followed to ensure the safety of subsequent driving.
Through the above analysis, we can derive the correct operation steps for a left turn for non-motor vehicles. It is hoped that the majority of non-motorized vehicle drivers will abide by traffic rules in the process of traveling, achieve safe and civilized travel, and jointly create a good traffic environment.
