Typically, traffic lights are designed to prevent conflicting signals; therefore, a traffic light should not turn green for both sides of an intersection simultaneously. In some specific cases, such as at a T-intersection or with dedicated turn signals, lights may be coordinated to allow different movements, but standard traffic lights maintain safety by ensuring that opposing directions do not receive a green light at the same time. However, malfunctions can occasionally cause both sides to show green, leading to dangerous situations.
What else can I help you with?
When approaching a green traffic light you should?
look both ways carefully.
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.
When a traffic light shows both a red light and a green arrow in the direction you wish to turn you?
You may turn in the direction the arrow is indicating. No other maeuvers are allowed.

How long does a traffic light stay green for?
The duration of a green traffic light varies based on factors such as location, traffic volume, and the specific traffic signal system in use. Typically, green lights can last anywhere from 20 to 90 seconds, but some may be shorter or longer depending on the intersection's design and traffic patterns. Traffic engineers adjust these timings to optimize traffic flow and ensure safety for both vehicles and pedestrians.
When a traffic light shows both a red light and a green light arrow in the direction you wish to turn you?
It means that either turns can be made in the direction shown by the green light or that a stop must be made before turning in the direction shown. Either way, turns are permitted.
Who is at fault if you hit a pedestian on green light?
Both of you ! The pedestrian is at fault for not obeying the traffic signals and you are at fault for not paying enough attention to what's around you while driving. A green light is not an automatic right to proceed - it's a priority signal !
How can a Red and green traffic light be lit up at same time?
A red and green traffic light cannot be lit up at the same time because they are designed to be mutually exclusive in order to prevent confusion for drivers. If both colors were illuminated simultaneously, it would lead to ambiguous signals and potentially dangerous situations on the road.
When a traffic lights shows both a red light and a green arrow in the direction you wish to turn you?
You may turn in the direction the arrow is indicating. No other maeuvers are allowed.
