Traffic signals and signs

Traffic signals and signs

A red light means you must make a complete stop
before entering the crosswalk or intersection and
wait until the light turns to green before proceeding.

A yellow light warns that the light is changing from
green to red. Slow down and prepare to stop.

A green light means you may proceed if it is safe to
do so after stopping for pedestrians and yielding
to vehicles within the intersection.

A green arrow means you may proceed carefully
only in the direction the arrow is pointing after
stopping for pedestrians and yielding to vehicles
within the intersection. In this case you may go
straight ahead only.

A green arrow, in this case, means you may turn
in the direction of the arrow after stopping for
pedestrians and yielding to vehicles within the
intersection.

A yellow arrow may appear after a green arrow and
warns you to clear the intersection.

A red flashing light means you must stop completely (treat as you would a stop sign). Proceed
with caution only after yielding the right-of-way
to pedestrians and to other vehicles at the intersection.

A yellow flashing light means you must slow down
and exercise caution before proceeding through
the intersection.
