Answer

Drivers facing a steady red arrow in a turn lane must come to a full stop and remain stopped until a green arrow or green light signal permits movement in that direction.
A steady red arrow signal requires drivers in the turn lane to bring their vehicle to a complete stop and remain stopped until a green arrow or green signal is illuminated. Turns in the direction of a steady red arrow are prohibited.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal indication.
Recognize that a steady red arrow specifically governs movement in the direction the arrow points.
Red arrows carry full red-light prohibitions specifically for turning traffic.
2
Determine the required driver behavior.
Bring the vehicle to a complete stop before the stop line or crosswalk and wait until the signal changes.
Standard traffic regulations prohibit entering an intersection to turn against a steady red arrow.
