Questions Learners Have About Left Turns & Priority

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

Why are left turns across oncoming traffic particularly challenging in Switzerland?

Left turns across oncoming traffic are complex because drivers must simultaneously assess priority with oncoming vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists, often without dedicated green arrows. Swiss rules require careful judgment of distances and speeds.

What are the main priority rules for left turns in Switzerland?

When turning left, you must generally yield to all oncoming traffic proceeding straight or turning right. You also have a duty to yield to pedestrians crossing the road you are entering, and to cyclists on your left or crossing your path, even if you have a green light, unless there's a specific green arrow for turning traffic.

How should I position my vehicle for a left turn?

For a left turn, you should position your vehicle as close to the centre line or the left side of your lane as safely possible, without crossing into oncoming traffic. This indicates your intention clearly and minimizes the turning radius.

Do I always have to yield to pedestrians and cyclists when turning left?

Yes, in Switzerland, drivers turning left must always yield to pedestrians crossing the road they are entering and to cyclists, regardless of whether there's a marked crossing, unless a specific green arrow light indicates otherwise.

What if the intersection is blocked while I'm waiting to turn left?

You must not enter an intersection if you cannot complete your left turn without blocking traffic, even if you have the right of way or a green light. Wait before the intersection until you have enough space to clear it.
