Is the release sequence of road traffic signal lights unified?

Roads are an essential infrastructure for our daily travel, which can be used by various trackless vehicles and pedestrians. However, roads also need order to maintain normal traffic and ensure the smooth flow of traffic. The emergence of road traffic signals can effectively manage traffic, and it has obvious effects on guiding traffic flow, improving road traffic capacity, and reducing traffic accidents. So, is the release sequence of road traffic signal lights unified?

The release sequence of road traffic signal lights is not completely unified, and it needs to be determined according to the traffic volume of the intersection. However, currently, the traffic in most cities across the country follows the release principle of "straight traffic first and then left turn".

In the past, due to the different traffic volumes in different places, the release sequence of road traffic signal lights varied. In some places, left-turning vehicles were released first, while in others, straight-going vehicles were given the green light first. For a long time, the left-turn lane was often regarded as a "straight lane". If left-turning vehicles rushed through at the end of the green light, it would also disrupt the driving of straight-going vehicles. This situation was most common during the peak hours of going to and coming from work. This situation made it difficult for drivers to master and brought a lot of inconvenience.

However, in order to meet the needs of modern urban traffic development, relieve the pressure of the increasing urban traffic volume, and provide citizens with a convenient, fast and smooth traffic environment to the greatest extent, by the end of 2014, the release sequence of road traffic signal lights within many urban areas had been uniformly adjusted to "straight traffic first and then left turn". After the implementation of the method of "straight traffic first and then left turn", it will effectively solve the problem of "low left-turn efficiency". Moreover, while improving the road traffic efficiency, it can also reduce traffic conflict points and increase the safety factor of the intersection.

Of course, when traveling, in addition to having a full understanding of the release sequence of road traffic signal lights, attention should also be paid to the lighting rules of traffic signal lights. Only when both aspects are fully understood can we better ensure the smooth flow of traffic.
