Question

Difficulty: MediumTraffic Light Signals

A driver approaching an intersection where a steady right green arrow is displayed alongside a steady circular red light is legally required to bring the vehicle to a complete stop before making the right turn. Is this statement true or false?

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
A steady green arrow provides turning drivers with protected right-of-way, permitting them to proceed through the turn without coming to a complete stop.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal face controlling the driver's intended direction of travel.
The right-turn lane is controlled by a steady green arrow pointing right.
Traffic signal rules apply according to the specific signal head designated for your lane and direction.
2
Determine the legal right-of-way rules for a steady green arrow.
A steady green arrow indicates a protected movement, meaning conflicting traffic faces red signals.
Unlike a circular red light (which requires a complete stop before turning right), a steady green arrow permits continuous movement without stopping.
