A black arrow is displayed on a traffic light’s steady red light itself. Does this change the meaning of the red light?

Correct answer

No, but it limits it to the movement indicated by the arrow

No: passage remains prohibited, but only for the movement indicated by the arrow under Annex I section 4.2.f. The arrow is on the red light’s illuminated surface, not on a sign above the traffic light. It is not a green arrow on black allowing passage. This rule refers to a non-flashing red light or an amber light; do not automatically extend it to every flashing red light.
