If you are in the turn lane and are going to turn, then you don't need to stop, but you should look both ways first to make sure that no one is coming at you. If you aren't in the turn lane and you are going to continue going straight, then you need to stop and wait until the light turns green.

NOTE: I'm assuming you are asking about driving in the United States. If you are not, this may not be correct

When a traffic light shows both a red light in a green arrow in the direction you wish to turn you?

If the green arrow shows for the direction you want to turn then you obey the green arrow, the red light is for all other traffic. The green arrow basically overrules the red light for the direction of the arrow.


Who has the right a way the person with a green light and a green arrow pointing left or the oncoming traffic does?

Normally, the green arrow would indicate that the opposing traffic has a red light and as such the green arrow traffic has right of way.However, due to mechanical or planning errors it is possible that the opposing traffic will also have a green light. If this happens, the opposing traffic (by virtue of going straight) has right of way. If this opposing traffic does not appear to be stopping, green arrow traffic should assume that opposing traffic has a green arrow and right of way. In the event of a collision when both have green, green arrow traffic (turning left) will be found at fault except in no-fault states where this will be considered a no-fault accident.


What does a green arrow mean?

A green arrow means that (assuming the traffic lights are not malfunctioning) it is safe to turn in the direction of the arrow, if you are in the correct lane. This is different from simply a green light, which means you may turn (if the green light is for the turn lane) but you must yield to oncoming traffic.

What does a green arrow mean with a red traffic light mean?

The green arrow is what is often known as a "filter." This means vehicles are permitted to proceed with caution in the direction indicated by the arrow.


Can you turn left when the traffic light is green or do I have to wait for the green turning light?

Depends. If the light has a sign next to it that says 'Yield on green light' it means you can go when the light is green and there is no traffic coming from the opposite direction that could hit you. If there is no sign wait for the arrow.

What do the green arrows mean?

If you are referring to a green arrow pointing upwards at a traffic light then that is pretty much the same thing as a green light signalling for traffic to continue moving forward. Traffic is allowed to move in the direction of the arrow. Commonly used to allow "protected" left turns at an intersection while the red ball prevents traffic from going straight across the intersection.


When at an intersection when the traffic signal is showing a red light and a green arrow?

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