Why are you required to wait now?

You are required to wait because of the right-of-way rules in Germany when turning left at an intersection. First, you must yield to oncoming vehicles going straight or turning right, such as the blue vehicle approaching from the opposite direction. Second, you must also give way to any cyclists crossing from the opposite side who have priority. Waiting ensures the safety of both the cyclist and the oncoming vehicle before you complete your left turn. This rule helps prevent collisions and maintains smooth traffic flow by respecting the priority of others on the road.
