What does a solid red arrow mean for turning?

• A. Do not turn in the direction of the arrow; stop and wait.
• B. Proceed through the intersection if clear.
• C. Turn in the opposite direction.
• D. Yield to pedestrians in the crosswalk.

Answer: (A)

A solid red arrow tells you not to turn in that direction. Treat it like a red light for that specific movement: come to a complete stop and wait until the signal changes to allow the turn. This pause helps prevent collisions with cross traffic and pedestrians. You may proceed to turn only when the signal becomes green (or there’s a green arrow for that turn). The red arrow isn’t a green light for any turning; you must wait.
