Method of waiting within an intersection until the
traffic light turns red to make a
left turn. Very common in Los Angeles, where there are no left turn signals and often
no breaks in oncoming traffic. Apparently legal by necessity in some areas.
Example:
Tourist drivers frequently don't understand the LA hanging left, and will sometimes wait through several cycles before making a
left turn, often prompting
honking and
road rage.

Opportunist drivers who illegally follow a "
hanging left" driver through a
left turn at an intersection. Illegal, since it entails entering an intersection on a red light.
