Question 4378
A green light shaped like a downward-pointing arrow on a lane traffic light...
- does not exempt you from having to follow the general right-of-way rules.
- exempts you from the obligation to stop at a circular red light.
- requires you not to leave the lane over which it is placed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: does not exempt you from having to follow the general right-of-way rules.
The downward-pointing green arrow allows you to use that lane, but it does not give you the right-of-way. You must still stop at a circular red light, obey a stop sign, a yield sign or a marking requiring you to yield and, when none are present, follow the general right-of-way rules. In the image, there is a yield sign farther ahead, with its triangles marked on the roadway.
