Traffic lights and pavement markingsQuestion 160 of 318

A green arrow points right. Pedestrians are crossing in the crosswalk. What must you do?

  1. Turn right at once, because the arrow gives you priority
  2. Turn right after you yield to the pedestrians
  3. Stop until the arrow turns off
  4. Go straight, because the arrow shows the main road
Show answer

Correct answer: Turn right after you yield to the pedestrians

A green arrow tells you to go in its direction. The same yield rules as for a green light still apply.
