Question 4990

- That I may turn right with the right-of-way.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: That I must take the direction indicated by the arrow, with caution and yielding to vehicles traveling in the lane I am entering.
The green arrow allows you to go in the direction it points even while the main light remains red, without waiting for green, but it does not give you the right-of-way. You must proceed with caution, yield to vehicles in the lane you are entering and let anyone crossing pass safely. The green passenger car in the image is in a right-turn-only lane, so it must proceed.
