Which vehicle must you give way to if you intend to make a left turn at an intersection?

Explanation

Only the oncoming bus. Two things stand on the post to your right: a traffic light showing green for you, and a Give Way sign just beneath it. The key rule is that while a traffic light is operating, priority signs lose their force — the sign governs only when the light is off or flashing amber — so being on the minor road is not decisive at this moment. Green lets you enter, but a left turn still cuts across the oncoming lane, so the yellow bus coming straight at you goes first. The truck on the right comes from the crossing road and its own signal does not permit it to move. Remember too that a yellow or amber beacon on a service vehicle creates no priority; only a blue beacon with a siren does.
