When is it ok to make a turn or not?

[CarPainter]

Sir, ano ba ang SOP if its safe to make a right turn or left turn?
Flinag down kasi ako ng enforcer sa may macapagal blvd at sabi ay bawal daw kumanan pag naka-stop. Sabi ko wala naman nakalagay na signage na no right turn on stop light at wala din naman mga arrows sa kalsada. At isa pa, yung stop light ay purely green, red & yellow circle lights lang, walang stop light na right arrow. Not to mention na yung pagliko ko ay dahan dahan lang kaya hinde nila pwedeng sabihin na mabilis at bigla ang pagliko ko without thinking the other motorist's safety na galing sa kabilang intersection. TY

Pasay? Napagtripan ka lang. Right place at the wrong time. Siguro, mag aalmusal pa lang mga green boys

[_Qwerty_]

where exactly at Macapagal blvd did you turn right?

[victorevolution]

yeah pinag tripan ka lang, hinuli ako diyan sinabi swerving daw, napamura ako sabi ko walang traffic violation na swerving sabi ko ipakita mo r.a. e.o. or city ordinance na bawal ang swerving, sakto may pulis na katabi tinawag ko, sabi ko kakasuhan kita ng extortion, at the end sabi ko sa kanya ang tamang citation is reckless driving

as always pahirap ang pasay t.e.

good thing tad tad ng camera auto ko 2 sa harap 2 sa likod and one on each side- proof that i don't violate any t.l.

where exactly at Macapagal blvd did you turn right?

i'm not sure pero "coral way" yata 'yun.
tagal na kasi di ako napupunta sa moa eh.
i think ts is talking about a road perpendicular to macapagal, no passing thru.

diyan kasi sa dulo ng road (corner macapagal) na 'yan may signal light nga.
wala ngang arrows 'yung signal light. coming from coral way, kung "green" ang light mo,
saka ka lang maka- liko sa macapagal if you are pasay bound (left), siyempre, maka- liko ka rin
sa right if you are paranaque bound. wala namang pa- derecho.

pagliko mo sa macapagal (kanan), marami ngang mga lacoste na nag aabang.

kapag "green" ang light ng mga sasakyan going to coral way from macapagal,
siyempre, 'yung light sa coral way is "red". if you're from coral way, you cannot turn left,
pero kung turning right ka, puwede, kasi nga libre na eh.
'yan na ang hinuhuli ng mga lacoste... cmiiw, "going thru a red / stop signal" ba ang tawag
sa traffic violation na yun?

dapat kasi, merong sign na "stop on red signal" or similar, before approaching the corner.
ano nga naman ira- rason mo kung sakaling i- flag down ka?
"libre naman sir eh"?

haaaybujaaay... hanggang ngayon ba naman eh pinagkaka- kitaan pa, eheste,
hindi pa naglalagay ng warning sign diyan sa road na 'yan???
o baka naman meron ng warning sign... nakatago nga lang sa likod ng puno. :bwahaha:

[pdspd]

Naku,eh matagal ng gatasan yang lugar na yan.No right turn on red ewan...dati meron sign jan pero nakatago at cguro mga 50 meters b4 the intersection chka parang natatakpan.parang ung mga nanghuli sau,naka tago din sa mga puno.Now U KNOW....

[dr. d]

yes, TS... you're right.
if there is no signage that says "right turn only with xxxx light", that means you can turn right at any time you deem safe.
if turning left naman, it's also the same... if there's a functioning traffic light but without arrows, you have to wait for the green "go cross the intersection" light to go on, before you can turn left, but only when you deem safe.. if there's no signage at all, you turn left when you deem safe.
few motorists remember that back in the 50s and 60s, when left turn signal lights were as common as hens' teeth, one turns left when the green "go straight" light turns on, or when deemed safe if there is no signal light at the intersection... and as far as i know, this practice has not yet been rescinded.

rules of thumb: unless otherwise indicated, the motorist going straight always has right of way; and
"what the law does not prohibit, it allows."

[leodawesome]

Basta pasay TE di ko pinapansin. Nagiimbento ng violation mga yan kapag gutom. Sayang lang oras mo kapag hinintuan mo kapag alam mo namang wala ka violation. Pramis di ka hahabulin.

[KingReyes]

I hope you stood your ground TS at hindi ka pumayag makotongan. I agree with the previous posters. Napagtripan ka nga lang.

Marami talagang crocodiles diyan. Pasay police pa napaka garapal.
