Traffic Signals & Road MarkingsStandalone practice
You are in a left-turn lane. Your signal shows a steady red arrow pointing left, while the lights for straight-through traffic are green. What must you do?
A approaches in a left-turn lane with a steady red left arrow. Silver B is in the adjacent through lane, whose signal is green.
Correct answer: Stay stopped until your own arrow changes, even when the road looks clear.
Why
A steady red arrow controls only the movement it points to. Stop before the intersection, stop line or crosswalk, and stay stopped as long as the red arrow shows, even when other lanes have a green light. When a green arrow appears, you may make the turn, usually while oncoming traffic is stopped.
