|
|
Drivers cannot turn on a red arrow, even if they stop first.
|
|
|
Red arrows are only used to stop vehicles turning left.

Unlike a solid red light, which may allow right turns after a complete stop, a red arrow indicates that you must come to a complete stop and cannot turn in the direction of the arrow until the light changes to green. This rule ensures safety by clearly marking which directions are prohibited for turns.
