Question

Difficulty: MediumTraffic Light Signals

At an intersection controlled by a traffic signal displaying a steady solid red light alongside a steady green right-turn arrow, a driver turning right is legally required to make a complete stop prior to entering the intersection.

Answer: Answer

Answer

False
A steady green arrow provides a protected turning phase. Drivers making the turn indicated by the arrow do not need to come to a stop before proceeding into the intersection, provided the pathway is clear of pedestrians and oncoming traffic.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Identify the signal combination displayed
The traffic light shows a steady solid red light paired with an active steady green arrow pointing right.
Traffic control signals regulate specific direction lanes independently.
2
Determine the right-of-way rule for a steady green arrow
A steady green arrow grants a protected turn in the indicated direction, permitting movement without stopping.
While a standard circular red light requires a complete stop before turning right, an illuminated green arrow overrides the red light requirement for that designated turning path.
