If you intend to go straight and the main traffic light turns green, what should you do if you notice that the vehicles behind you want to turn?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

You should go straight ahead. If you are in a lane that permits going straight (either because there are no road markings or because there is a combined arrow for going straight and turning), your obligation is to obey the traffic light regulating your direction. When the light turns green, you have the right to proceed. The desire of other drivers to turn does not force you to change your route or turn, unless you were blocking the way while a green arrow specifically for turning was lit while your straight-ahead light was red; but since the main light is green, your right to proceed prevails.
