AMDifficulty 3/5

A green right-pointing arrow lights up on a circular black background beside a red traffic light. With no other instructions preventing it and without blocking the junction, may you turn right?

Correct answer

Yes, cautiously and letting traffic in the lane you are joining pass.

Yes, following the arrow cautiously. Annex I section 4.2.g permits travel in that direction even when a red light is simultaneously lit. Let vehicles in the lane you are joining pass and do not endanger anyone crossing the carriageway. It does not grant absolute priority or allow proceeding straight through red. This is a green arrow on a circular black background, not a black arrow on green or a downward lane-control arrow.
