Question 5128

In this situation, is the passenger car allowed to continue straight ahead?

  1. No, you must wait until the green arrow on the traffic light turns off.
  2. Yes, because the arrows painted on the roadway allow it.
  3. No, because the main traffic light is red.
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: No, because the main traffic light is red.

No. The green arrow only allows a right turn. To continue straight, you must obey the main light, which is red, so you must wait for it to turn green, not for the arrow to go out. The arrows on the roadway indicate which directions you may take from your lane, but they do not override the traffic light.
