left turn with a green arrow - oncoming traffic is supposed to be stopped

Answer 2

Protected/permitted left turn phasing is a left turn movement of traffic at a signalized intersection having a separate left turn phase in the signal cycle to provide a protected green arrow interval, as well as nonprotected circular green interval.

Use of the protected/permitted left turn phasing technique is based on the assumption that the need for a protected left turn interval has been established.

One of the basic precepts of the protected/permitted left turn phasing, is that the protected green arrow is displayed only when needed in a traffic demand condition.

It is therefore emphasized that the protected/permitted left turn phasing technique is an efficient concept as opposed to a crash reduction concept although it will probably offer safer operationthan permissive only operation..................................
