2. Traffic Control Signs
O Red
Come to a complete stop at the marked stop line or before
moving into the crosswalk or intersection. At most
intersections, after stopping, you may turn right on red if the
way is clear. Some intersections display a "NO TURN ON
RED" sign, which you must obey. Left turns on a red light from
a one-way street into a one-way street are also allowed.
Anyone convicted of running a red light is required to complete
a basic driver improvement course.
O Yellow
Stop if you can safely do so. The light will soon be red.
O Green
Go - but only if the intersection is clear. Yield to pedestrians
and vehicles still in the intersection. If turning left, wait for a
gap in oncoming traffic to complete a turn. If you turn left or
right, yield to pedestrians crossing in the crosswalk that you
turn into.
3. Pedestrian Signals
O Show words or pictures similar to the following examples:
"WALK" or "Walking Person" lights mean a pedestrian may
begin crossing the street.
"DON'T WALK" or "Raised Hand" lights mean a pedestrian
may not begin crossing. A pedestrian in the crosswalk when
the "DON'T WALK" or "Raised Hand" signal begins flashing
should finish crossing
4. Arrows and Flashing Lights
O Red Arrow
Just like a red light, come to a complete stop at the marked stop line or before
moving into the crosswalk or intersection. After stopping, you may turn right on a
red arrow at most intersections if the way is clear. Some intersections display a"NO
TURN ON RED" sign, which you must obey. Left turns on a red arrow from a one-
way street into a one-way street are also allowed.
O Yellow Arrow
Stop if you can. The light will soon be red. The yellow arrow means the same as the
yellow light, but applies only to movement in the direction of the arrow.
O Flashing Yellow Arrow
A flashing yellow arrow means left turns are allowed. Yield to oncoming traffic and
pedestrians. The oncoming traffic has a green light.
O Green Arrow
A green arrow, pointing right or left, means you may make a turn in the direction of
the arrow. If the red light is burning at the same time, you must be in the proper lane
for such a turn and you must yield the right-of-way to vehicles and pedestrians
clearing the intersection.
O Flashing Signals
A flashing red light means the same thing as a stop sign. It is used at dangerous
intersections.
A flashing yellow light means you may move forward with caution. It is used at, or
just before, dangerous intersections, or to alert you to a warning sign such as a
school crossing or sharp curve.
