Sample question from test 5
signals-markings
A green protected turn arrow is illuminated. What does it authorize?
- Driving only in the arrow's direction after yielding to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection
- Turning in any direction without checking the intersection
- Waiting for a red signal before moving
- Driving straight through even when the arrow points elsewhere
Answer: Driving only in the arrow's direction after yielding to traffic and pedestrians already in the intersection. A green protected arrow gives the driver right of way to move only in the direction shown, but the manual still requires yielding to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection. It does not authorize every possible movement, remove the need to observe the roadway, or require waiting for red. The arrow controls the permitted direction, while existing intersection users must be cleared safely. Look through the turn path before moving and do not start early just because the arrow is visible.
