When there is a green arrow pointing left, and the red light is illuminated at the same time, drivers:
|
Have the right-of-way and can turn left from any lane.
|
|
|
Must be in the proper lane to make a turn in the direction of the arrow, and must yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians.
|
|
|
Should come to a complete stop if they can. The green light will soon be red.
|
|
|
Must stop if they are in the green arrow lane.
|
Explanation
If a traffic signal simultaneously has a green arrow pointing left and a red light, drivers that are in the proper lane may turn following the direction of the arrow. They must yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and to pedestrians crossing, but if the road is clear then they do not have to come to a stop. Drivers who wish to proceed in other directions must wait for the traffic signal to change from red to green.
