Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are on a two-way street, turning left onto another two-way street. A steady red arrow controls your left turn. What must you do while that arrow remains red?
Correct answer: Remain stopped for the left turn.
Why
Remain stopped for this left turn. Massachusetts applies conditional turn-on-red rules to steady red arrows: after a complete stop and yielding, a right turn or a left turn from one one-way street onto another may be permitted unless a sign prohibits it. This two-way-to-two-way left turn does not meet that exception. Proceed only when a signal or authorized direction permits the movement and the path is safe.
