Question 5896
If you are going to continue straight ahead, and there is a red traffic light on the left and a green one on the right, you must obey the traffic light that is...
- green, because it is on the right.
- red, because it is on the left and I am going to continue straight ahead.
- green, because it allows me to proceed.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: red, because it is on the left and I am going to continue straight ahead.
If the traffic lights on the two sides give different indications, anyone going straight or turning left must obey the light on the left. Since you are going straight, you must stop at the red light, even though the green light on the right allows right-turning traffic to proceed. In the image, the blue passenger car in the left lane is waiting.
