This sentence is compound.

Explanation:

A simple sentence is an independent clause. It consists of a subject and a predicate, and it expresses a complete thought on its own.

A compound sentence consists of two independent clauses connected by a coordinating conjunction. The coordinating conjunctions are: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, and so.

A complex sentence consists of an independent clause and a dependent one. Dependent clauses begin with subordinating conjunctions and are unable to express a complete thought on their own. Examples of subordinating conjunctions are: after, before, because, although, since, if, etc.

Finally, a compound-complex sentence consists of two independent sentences and a dependent one.

As we can see, the sentence we are analyzing here fits the description of compound sentence. It has two independent clauses connected by the coordinating conjunction "and":

1. The traffic light turned yellow

2. And we made a right hand turn quickly exiting the intersection.
