Does the meaning of a traffic light with a steady red light change if it has a black arrow above it?
Signage: Traffic lights
Explanation
Black arrow on a fixed red light: scope of the signal
- The black arrow on a **red** light (or **yellow**) does not change its meaning: red **prohibits passing** and yellow requires **caution**.
- The arrow only **limits** whom it affects: **only** vehicles performing the **indicated movement** (direction and orientation of the arrow).
- Other movements are not bound by this light and should follow their **own signals** or the **general rules**.
Example: red light with arrow to the right = **prohibited to turn right**; it does not affect continuing straight if there is no other sign prohibiting it.
