Traffic Light Guidelines

Traffic Light Guidelines

• A solid red light requires a complete stop before the stop line or crosswalk.
• A yellow light signals preparation to stop or clear the intersection; speeding up is unsafe.
• A green light permits proceeding, but caution is required regarding other traffic.
• A green arrow with a green light allows movement in the direction of the arrow.

Red Light Signs

• A green arrow with a red light means to proceed only in the direction of the arrow, after a complete stop.
• A flashing red light indicates a stop before the line or crosswalk; proceed only when clear.

Yellow Light Protocol

• Approach a flashing yellow light with caution, yielding to pedestrians and other vehicles; stopping is not required.

Flashing Green Light

• A flashing green light is generally safe for cautious proceeding, but depends on pedestrian signals.

Lane Indicators

• A solid red X indicates that the lane cannot be entered or occupied.
• A downward pointing green arrow permits travel in that lane.

Stop Signs and Speed Limits

• At a stop sign, come to a complete stop and ensure safety before continuing.
• Speed limits denote the maximum allowable speed under ideal conditions.

School Zones and Parking Regulations

• School zones require adherence to posted speed limits, and current speeds should not exceed those limits.
• Parking in disability-restricted areas is permissible only with a valid permit.

Traffic Signals and Signs

• Both traffic signals and road signs are essential for safe driving; prioritize their following equally.
