Question 6723
What must the driver of a passenger car do at this traffic light?
- Stop as if it were a red light.
- Continue driving, because its indications do not apply to passenger cars.
- Proceed only if going straight ahead.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Continue driving, because its indications do not apply to passenger cars.
A traffic light with a white bar on a black background applies to streetcars and buses on regular routes. The horizontal bar in the image requires them to stop, not you, so in a passenger car you must follow the signs and signals that apply to you. It would only apply to you if you were using a reserved lane controlled by that signal, for example, driving a taxi in a bus-taxi lane.
