This left–hand turn may only be authorized for a motor vehicle which has stopped in the extreme left–hand lane lawfully available on a one–way roadway and intends to turn on to a one–way roadway in which the direction of traffic is moving to the left of the motor vehicle. In addition such turns may only be made after yielding the right–of–way to pedestrians or other traffic proceeding as directed by the signal at the intersection. A violation of such restrictions is a Class 2 misdemeanor.
