When approaching a Y-shaped intersection, it can be confusing to know which traffic light to focus on. Here are some tips:
1. Determine which direction you will be turning: If you are making a left turn, look at the traffic light on the left side of the intersection. If you are making a right turn, look at the traffic light on the right side of the intersection. If you are going straight, look at both lights as they may indicate different lanes.
2. Observe the road markings: The road markings may indicate which traffic light to follow. If there are separate left and right lanes with arrows pointing towards each light, this is a clear indication.
3. Follow other drivers: If you are unsure, observe other drivers and see which light they are following. However, it’s important to remember that not all drivers may be following the correct light.
In general, it’s important to pay attention to both traffic lights as they may indicate different directions for different lanes. Always use your best judgement and follow the appropriate signals for your intended direction of travel.
