Question

Difficulty: EasyTraffic Light Signals

A driver facing a steady green arrow traffic signal has a protected turn and right-of-way over oncoming traffic.

Answer: Answer

Answer

True. A steady green arrow grants a protected turn movement where oncoming traffic is stopped by a red light.
The statement is true because a steady green arrow establishes a protected turning movement. Oncoming traffic is stopped by a red light, permitting vehicles moving in the direction of the arrow to proceed with right-of-way after yielding to pedestrians already in the crosswalk.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal type and its specific legal meaning.
A steady green arrow represents a protected movement phase.
Traffic control systems use green arrows to allow specific movements without conflict from opposing vehicles.
2
Determine right-of-way status relative to opposing vehicles.
Oncoming traffic faces a red light and must stop, giving the turning vehicle right-of-way.
Protected turn phases eliminate conflict with oncoming traffic by stopping it with a red light signal.
