Correct answer
does not exempt you from having to comply with the general rules on right of way.
When you see a green arrow-shaped light pointing downwards on a lane traffic signal, it indicates that you may drive in that specific lane. However, it is essential to understand that this signal does not remove the need to keep observing the general traffic rules, especially regarding right of way. Imagine you are driving and come across this green arrow-shaped light. Although it allows you to proceed in that lane, you must still stay alert to other signals and traffic conditions that may require you to give way. For example, if you approach a junction where another vehicle has the right of way, you must still stop and give way as necessary.
