Practice question

What does a green arrow showing at the same time as a red traffic light mean you can do?

  1. You can turn in the direction of the arrow if you are in the proper lane
  2. You must stop and wait for the red light to turn green
  3. You can proceed straight through the intersection
  4. You must yield to other drivers before proceeding

Answer: A — You can turn in the direction of the arrow if you are in the proper lane

A green arrow showing at the same time as a red traffic light is commonly referred to as a "protected turn." This means that you are allowed to turn in the direction of the arrow in the designated lane. Option B is incorrect because if there is a green arrow, it overrides the red light and you do not need to stop. Option C is incorrect because a green arrow does not give you the right of way to proceed straight through an intersection. Option D is incorrect because when there is a green arrow, you do not need to yield to other drivers before proceeding (assuming you are in the proper lane and following all other traffic laws).
