Practice questions with this sign
What does a red light with a left-turn green arrow mean?
- You may turn left only after a complete stop
- You may go straight or turn left
- All traffic must stop while pedestrians cross
- You may turn left from the left-turn lane; oncoming drivers may also be turning left (Correct answer)
Explanation: This is a simultaneous left turn: drivers in the left-turn lane may turn left, and drivers coming the other way may be turning left at the same time. Straight-through traffic still has a red light.
You want to go straight and you face this signal. What must you do?
- Go straight, since there is a green arrow
- Go straight after yielding to left-turning cars
- Turn left instead, from any lane
- Stay stopped; the arrow is only for turning left (Correct answer)
Explanation: A red light with a left-turn green arrow allows left turns only, from the left-turn lane. Traffic going straight still faces a red light and must wait.

- Left side to left side (Correct answer)
- Right side to right side
- The driver who arrived first turns while the other waits
