English term or phrase: loop left
Instructions for driver busy driving. I just have no idea what "loop" means. I suppose it is something you do with a vehicle, or some kind of action you take in a car.

afrit na links
Explanation:
Ek dink die "loop" verwys na 'n draai of afrit. Volgens Pharos is 'n "loop" 'n draai in die pad, maar sonder meer konteks weet ek nie of hier 'n snelweg of net 'n gewone pad ter sprake is nie. Vir 'n gewone pad sou draai op linkerkant reg wees, maar by 'n snelweg sou afrit natuurlik beter wees.
