Does the meaning of a traffic light showing a steady red light with a black arrow above it change?

Correct answer

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

A black arrow above a steady or flashing red or amber light at traffic lights has the same meaning as the red or amber lights, but applies only to vehicles travelling in the direction indicated by the arrow; in other words, it limits the traffic light to the movement indicated by that arrow.
