What does a traffic light with a red light and a green arrow mean

• A. You may only turn in the direction of the green arrow
• B. You may turn in any direction
• C. You may not turn
• D. You must stop

Answer: (A)

A red light with a green arrow means you have a protected turn in the direction of the arrow. The red signal blocks all other movements, so you may only move in the direction the green arrow points. You should approach, come to a stop if required, and yield to pedestrians and other traffic before turning. You cannot go straight or turn in any other direction while that red signal is showing. The green arrow specifically grants permission for that one direction, which is why that option is the best choice.
