1) Learn essential traffic phrases and expressions
The most important words you need to learn are:
Left = Kiri
Right = Kanan
Straight ahead = Lurus
U-Turn = Putar balik
I cannot over emphasise the importance of the phrase "Putar balik".

2) Traffic lights
When approaching a junction with traffic lights the rules are simple:
• When the lights are red you must stop and wait.
• Unless you are turning left - then it's okay.
• Although sometimes it's not.
Hope that's clear.
