Road Signs & Traffic Signals

A green arrow appears along with a red light. What may you do?

  • A.Drive straight through the intersection
  • B.Turn in any direction you choose
  • C.Ignore pedestrians in the crosswalk
  • D.Turn in the direction of the arrow, after yielding to pedestrians and any vehicles still in the intersection
Correct answer

D. Turn in the direction of the arrow, after yielding to pedestrians and any vehicles still in the intersection

Why

A green arrow gives you a protected turn in the arrow's direction even while the main light is red. You must still yield to pedestrians and clear the intersection safely.
