Question

Difficulty: EasyTraffic Light Signals

A driver facing a steady red arrow light in a dedicated right-turn lane is legally permitted to turn right after coming to a full stop and yielding to all cross traffic and pedestrians.

Answer: Answer

Answer

The statement is false. A steady red arrow signal prohibits making a turn in the direction of the arrow, requiring drivers to remain stopped until a green arrow or green light is displayed.
The statement is false because traffic laws dictate that a steady red arrow means stop and remain stopped. Drivers may not proceed or execute a turn in the direction indicated by the arrow until a green signal is displayed.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal type and direction
The signal is a steady red arrow pointing right.
Traffic signal rules differentiate between circular solid lights and directional arrow lights.
2
Apply traffic legal rules for steady red arrows
Unlike a circular red light, a steady red arrow explicitly forbids turning in the indicated direction while illuminated.
Red arrows indicate protected or restricted turn phases where movement in that direction is not allowed.
