Practice question

Which action is correct when you encounter a red light with a green arrow?

  1. Turn only in the direction of the green arrow
  2. Turn in any direction
  3. Stop and wait for further signal
  4. Proceed straight ahead only

Answer: A — Turn only in the direction of the green arrow

A red light with a green arrow means you have a protected turn in the direction of the arrow. You may move only in that direction, and you must yield to pedestrians and other vehicles in or entering the intersection. Do not go straight or turn in any other direction while the arrow is lit. If you want to go a different way, wait for a signal that allows that movement.
