Traffic Lights
We're a l l familiar with traffk l i g h t s or
stop lights. Often green arrows are being
used in the lights for improved traffic
control. On some multilane roads, green
arrows light up, indicating 'that
traffic in
one or more lanes
cm move or make a
turn. Green arrows don't mean "go no
matter what." You'll still need to
proceed with caution, yielding the right
of way to pedestrians and sometimes to
other vehicles.
Some traffic lights also use red mows
to signify that you must stop befare
tunzing on red.
