You are in a left-turn lane. Your signal shows a steady red arrow that points left, and the lights for traffic that goes straight are green. What must you do?
Blue A occupies a marked left-turn lane at an intersection. Its enlarged signal shows a steady red left arrow. Silver B occupies a separate straight-through lane under green. No turn route or action caption is present.
Correct answer: Stay stopped until a green arrow or green light replaces the red arrow.
Why
A red arrow controls only the movement in the direction of the arrow, so other lanes may move while you wait. Oncoming traffic usually has a green light during this time, so a turn would put you in its path. When the arrow changes, still check for pedestrians and vehicles that are finishing their movement.
