Question 6726
If there are traffic lights with different indications on the right and on the left, which one must drivers who intend to continue straight ahead obey?
- The one closest to the vehicle.
- The one located to their right.
- The one located immediately to their left.
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: The one located immediately to their left.
If the traffic lights on your left and right show different colors, you must obey the one on the left to go straight, just as you would to turn left. The one on the right applies to drivers turning right, and being closer to either light makes no difference. In the image, the light on the left is red, so the dark passenger car in the lane for going straight or turning left waits.
