"yield on green" means the intersection doesn't have dedicated left-turn
(right-turn in the UK) arrows (and possibly no dedicated turn lanes). You're
allowed to make a turn across oncoming traffic, but you have to yield to that
oncoming traffic and wait until there's a safe gap to make your turn. You aren't
allowed to make a turn when the light isn't green. These are usually on
lower-traffic intersections where there aren't a lot of people making turns
across traffic. [ Reply to This | Parent | # ]

In the UK, green means *safe* to go, red means stop.
Last time I looked:
- Amber means stop, unless to do so
would cause an accident in which case you may proceed *IF* it is safe to do so
[ie if to proceed would also cause an accident then you are clearly driving
without due care and attention]
- Red means stop
- Red + Amber means
stop
- Green means stop unless it is safe to proceed in which case you may
proceed.
Or to put to put it another way, all combinations of traffic
lights means stop, except that when the bottom light only is illuminated (in
green) then IF, and only if, it is safe to do so you may proceed.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
