Left Turns on Green Require Extra Attention

In Bulgaria, it's common for intersections to allow both straight-going and left-turning traffic to proceed on the same green light. This means that if you're turning left, you must yield to oncoming vehicles going straight unless there's a dedicated left-turn signal. This setup can be surprising for drivers from countries where left turns are only permitted with a separate arrow signal.

Always approach intersections with caution, and be prepared to wait for a safe gap in oncoming traffic before making your turn. Familiarize yourself with local traffic signals and signs, and when in doubt, observe the behavior of local drivers or seek guidance from your rental car provider.
