What does a green arrow with a red light mean?

Answer 1

If you are in the lane governed by the arrow proceed carefully in the direction of the arrow after yielding the right-of-way to other vehicles and pedestrians. If you do not intend to go in the direction of the arrow and you are not in that lane, you have to wait for a green arrow, or a full green light.

If you are in the 'green arrow' lane by mistake, you should move anyway, or you may annoy many people.
Means that you may proceed in the direction of the arrow, if you are in the proper lane and the roadway is clear.
It means that you may make a move IN THE DIRECTION THE ARROW POINTS ONLY.
It means that vehicles wishing to move in the direction the arrow points can go. Ayy other maneuver is prohibitted.
you can turn wichever way the green arrow is pointing but you have to be in the proper lane for such a turn and you must yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians within the intersection
If going straight, it means you must stop until the light turns green. You are permitted to turn in whatever direction the green arrow is pointing.
A green arrow with a red traffic light means you have a protected turn with oncoming traffic stopped at a red light. Then when the green arrow turns yellow and then you have a green light, you have to yield to opposing traffic, but you may still make your turn when the opposing traffic has cleared.

Answer 2

A green light and a green left arrow means it is safe for cars to go straight ahead AND turn left. Typically what happens is either the green left arrow comes first before the green light which means only the cars who wish to turn left can proceed but the cars wishing to go straight ahead must wait. Or in a different case the green light and the green left arrow will turn green at the same time but usually in most cases the green left arrow is there for a shorter period of time then the green light. Say the green left arrow turns yellow and then the left arrow disappears but the green light still remains. This means you can drive straight ahead BUT you can still turn left if the left arrow is gone and the green arrow is still there. However, in this case when the green left arrow goes away and the green light is still there the light turns green for the cars coming in the opposite direction so you have to wait your turn and make sure no cars ae there and then you may proceed left. As the cars from the opposite direction have more right of way.

Hope this helps.

Answer 3

Arrows on traffic lights can point Right, Left, Down or Up. Typically you find arrows on turning lanes, or when there are more than two lanes of traffic in each direction, or when lane usage on a multi-lane roadway changes at specific times of the day. (For example: Some roads around Cleveland, Ohio changes direction of lanes during rush hour.)

Here are some situations-- but always watch out for other traffic!

1. On a 4 lane highway, the middle turning lane shows a Left hand Arrow for a turn from the right side of the road. You may turn left only.
2. On a multi-lane roadway, the thru-lanes have a red light. But the middle turn lane has a Left facing Arrow. You are free to turn left.
3. You are on a 6 lane road with NO median, NO wall, NO barriers. Two lanes on your side have unchanging steady green lights. The 3rd lane has a Green Arrow pointing toward the roadway. The 4th lane, you notice, has the same arrow. Your side of the roadway is being treated as a 4 lane in one direction, while the other side is limited to 2 lanes in their direction. You may only go straight; you must stay in your lane until well after you pass that light. *Going the same way later, you would see an X on the traffic signal-- meaning, you can't be in that lane or you will cause a head on accident.
4. An hour after rush hour ended, you notice the outbound lanes going out of the city on the 6 lane road are now marked as 4 lanes, but the other side is limited to 2 lanes. Now, you may drive as if the road is 4 lanes in one direction. Stay in your lane till way past the light. *Going the same way later, you would see an X on the traffic signal-- meaning, you can't be in that lane or you will cause a head on accident.
5. At a busy intersection of a 4 lane road with many side roads coming in at angles, the 2 right hand lanes have a green arrow pointing right, but thru traffic on all roads have red lights, and the left turning lanes all have an arrow pointing left. So in the 2 right hand lanes, you can only go right; thru traffic on both sides are stopped; left hand turners can only turn to the left. IF you made a mistake and want to go straight, you MUST adhere to the traffic signal direction and you should not try to move over into the thru lane or you will snarl traffic behind you.

You may find the arrow indicator in many situations. Just do what the light tells you, and watch out for other traffic.

Answer 4

it means that if you are in the turning lane that the arrow is pointing to, you can turn that way but the people going straight cannot go yet. It's basically giving turners the right of way.

Answer 5

Stop and check intersection is clear and turn in direction of arrow.

Answer 6

It means STOP! go on this way (were the arrow points in)

Answer 7

you must stop if traveling straight...you can go which ever way the green arrow is pointing, left or right.

Answer 8

Traffic is allowed to proceed in the direction the arrow is pointing

Answer 9

You are allowed to procede in the direction indicated by the arrow ONLY.
