Difficulty: EasyTraffic Light Signals

What action is a driver legally required to take when approaching an intersection with a steady solid red arrow signal pointing left?

  1. Stop completely before entering the intersection and remain stopped until a green signal or green arrow is displayed.Answer
  2. B
    Come to a full stop, yield to oncoming traffic and pedestrians, and then proceed with the left turn when clear.
  3. C
    Slow down and complete the left turn with caution if no oncoming vehicles are visible.
  4. D
    Proceed with the left turn if the main circular traffic light for straight-through traffic is solid green.

Answer

The driver must bring the vehicle to a complete stop before the stop line or intersection and remain stopped until a green signal or arrow appears.
A steady solid red arrow means 'stop.' Turning drivers facing a solid red arrow must come to a complete stop at the marked stop line or crosswalk and remain stopped until a green light or green arrow is displayed. Turning in the direction of a solid red arrow is never permitted while the signal remains red.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal light display.
The traffic control light displays a steady solid red arrow pointing to the left.
Red arrow lights govern specific turning lanes and signal mandatory stop requirements for designated directions.
2
Apply the standard traffic law rule for solid red arrows.
Driver stops before the crosswalk/stop line and stays stopped until authorized to turn by a green signal.
Solid red arrows prohibit all turns in the indicated direction while red, with no permission to turn after stopping.
