Red Arrow Signal

A red arrow prohibits movement in the direction shown until it changes.

What This Sign Means

Red arrows control specific turning movements separately from the main signal. The through lanes may have green while the turn lane faces a red arrow.

What You Should Do

Stop and wait. Do not turn against a red arrow even if the way looks clear.

Knowledge Test Tip

Unlike a solid red ball, a red arrow generally means no turn at all in that direction — don't apply the right-on-red rule to red arrows in test questions.
