A green light in the shape of a downward-pointing arrow on a lane traffic light...
Signage: Traffic lights
Explanation
Green arrow pointing down and priority
- What it means: A **green arrow pointing down** on a lane traffic light indicates that the **lane is enabled** and you can drive on it.
- What it does not mean: **It does not grant you priority** nor **exempt you from complying** with the general rules of **right of way**.
- In practice: Even if the lane is open, you must:
- Respect signs such as **Yield** or **Stop**.
- Yield to vehicles with **priority** (for example, at signaled intersections).
- Pay attention to **pedestrians**, **road markings**, and **signals** that regulate right of way.
In summary, the green arrow only authorizes the use of the lane; **priority** is still governed by the general rules and applicable signage.
