Questions Learners Have About Left Turn Priority

Find answers to the most common queries learners have when practising Left Turn Priority, including how questions match the official theory exam in the Netherlands, how scoring works, and how this practice improves exam readiness.

When turning left in the Netherlands, who generally has priority over me?

When turning left, you must generally yield to all oncoming traffic going straight ahead and to oncoming traffic turning right, unless specific traffic signs or arrow-shaped traffic lights indicate otherwise.

Do oncoming vehicles turning right have priority over me when I'm turning left?

Yes, in the Netherlands, a driver turning left must give way to an oncoming driver who is turning right at the same road junction. This is often referred to as 'short turn goes before long turn'.

What if there are traffic lights at an intersection where I want to turn left?

If you have a round green light, you must still give way to oncoming straight traffic and oncoming right-turning traffic. If you have a green arrow-shaped light pointing left, you typically have priority and will not have to deal with conflicting oncoming traffic.

Can I enter the intersection and wait if I'm turning left and have a green light?

Yes, if you have a green light and need to yield to oncoming traffic when turning left, you may drive onto the intersection and wait, provided it does not block traffic or cause danger. Always ensure you can clear the intersection completely.

Does indicating my intention to turn left give me priority?

No, using your indicator only communicates your intention to other road users; it does not grant you priority. You must still adhere to all priority rules, especially when turning left across oncoming traffic in the Netherlands.
