Question

Difficulty: MediumTraffic Light Signals

A driver facing a steady red arrow signal in a dedicated right-turn lane is legally permitted to execute a right turn after coming to a complete stop and yielding to oncoming traffic, provided no posted sign explicitly prohibits turning on red.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. A steady red arrow strictly prohibits turning in the direction of the arrow. Drivers must remain stopped until a green signal or green arrow is displayed.
The statement is false because traffic laws strictly prohibit making a turn against a steady red arrow. Drivers must remain stopped at a steady red arrow until a green signal or green arrow is displayed, regardless of coming to a complete stop or yielding.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal type and directional indicator.
The traffic signal displayed is a steady red arrow.
Traffic light rules differentiate between solid circular signals and directional arrow signals.
2
Apply the statutory rule for steady red arrow indications.
A steady red arrow means stop and remain stopped until a green light or arrow appears; movement in the direction of the arrow is prohibited.
Unlike a solid circular red light where right turns on red are generally allowed after stopping, a steady red arrow prohibits turns in that specific direction.
