Hey, ich bin über diese Ampelsituation gestolpert
https://maps.app.goo.gl/qwDstX4239A3ky359?g_st=ac
Können Sie erklären, ob ich hier nach links oder rechts abbiegen darf?

You are allowed to turn left or right but you have to give right of passage.
Correct but you need to yield when turning, it’s also green for the opposite lane. I use this intersection a lot.
Yes, it’s just telling you that left or right you might be crossing paths with other vehicles (left) and pedestrians (right) so it’s yellow for you to be careful. The path ahead is green because there should be no obstacles.
Flashing orange means you can go but wait for cars passing in the opposite lane. And sometimes carefully watching for pedestrians because of a crosspath
Yes, can either go straight forward, turn left or turn right. The difference is that to go forward you have a green light which means you are “good to go at will”, and to turn left or right you have the yellow lights which means you need to be extra cautious, since traffic from other directions may cross your path.
For example, you start to turn right, and from the road but opposite direction another car also starts to turn to his left (your right): you will eventually end up on the same road at the same time, so one of you will need to give up space/priority.
So thanks for your answers. So this Is yellow? I first thought, the arrows are red. This solves it for me
Where dis you get your driver’s license?
Yellow flashing arrow lights in Portugal is a bit of a wildcard.
You might have to stop to yield, or you might not. It generally just means „be cautious“.
In that intersection, I wouldn’t be surprised if the left flashing arrow lights up only when the others already have a red light.
Just BE cautious when turning. There is a crosswalk on either sides.
Caution…probably its green for pedestrians.
Nunca pensei ver Oliveira do Douro city mencionado aqui no Reddit ahahaha
It’s a special traffic light telling you to turn right and stop at Nandita for a 3am greasy burguer.
Only for the true connaisseurs.
the blinking yellow light is a warning that once the light turns green and you can drive, same thing will happen to others (vehicles or pedestrians) which you will cross the path with, and if that happens **you need to yield to them**.
So, in Portugal this means a race: you should floor it so you cross and pass by them before they have the time to reach you.
