A system, a method and a computer program product are provided to determine a left turn decision for a user or autonomous vehicle attempting to turn at an intersection of a road. For example, the system obtains contextual features and/or sensor data related to the intersection of the road. An optimal location on the road is determined for the user or autonomous vehicle to position the vehicle to make the left turn decision, based on the contextual features and/or the sensor data. A left turn risk factor is determined based on the location on the road for the user or autonomous vehicle to position the vehicle to make a left turn. An alert is presented to the user or autonomous vehicle regarding the left turn risk factor with a left turn advisory message.
