Practice question

What does a green arrow indicate for a driver?

  1. Is used only on one-way streets.
  2. Means the same as a circular green light, but you must go only in the direction the arrow indicates.
  3. Means that you may go only if the green arrow is accompanied by a green light.
  4. Points the way to the airport.

Answer: B — Means the same as a circular green light, but you must go only in the direction the arrow indicates.

A green arrow indicates that drivers may proceed in the direction the arrow is pointing, similar to a circular green light which allows for a straight or left/right turn. However, with the green arrow specifically, it denotes that the driver must only go in that indicated direction. This clarity helps manage traffic flow by preventing conflicting movements and ensuring safety at intersections. While other options may reference conditions or uses for various signals, the essence of a green arrow is to convey a specific direction for proceeding, thereby enhancing both clarity and safety for all road users.
