Question

Difficulty: MediumTraffic Light Signals

At an intersection controlled by a steady solid red arrow pointing right, a driver is legally permitted to execute a right turn after coming to a complete stop and yielding to cross traffic and pedestrians.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False. A driver facing a steady solid red arrow signal is strictly prohibited from turning in the direction of the arrow and must remain stopped until a green signal appears.
A steady solid red arrow means a driver must come to a complete stop and stay stopped until a permissive signal (such as a green light or green arrow) turns on. Drivers may not turn right on a solid red arrow, even after coming to a full stop and yielding.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal type described in the scenario.
The traffic signal is a steady solid red arrow pointing right.
Right-of-way and turning rules depend specifically on whether a light is circular or an arrow.
2
Recall the legal rule for steady solid red arrow signals.
A steady solid red arrow means stop and forbids movement in the indicated direction.
Standard traffic regulations allow right turns on steady circular red lights after stopping, but prohibit turns against solid red arrows.
3
Evaluate the correctness of the statement.
The assertion that a driver may turn right on a solid red arrow after stopping is false.
The driver must remain stopped until a green arrow or green light is shown.
