A2Difficulty 3/5

You ride a motorcycle. The ordinary traffic light controlling your lane shows a steady red light, while a cycle-only traffic light shows a green cycle silhouette. What must you do?

Correct answer

Stop because the ordinary traffic light controlling your lane is red.

Obey the ordinary red light and stop at the stop line or, if none exists, before the signal, without entering the junction. Signals with a cycle silhouette apply exclusively to cycles; they do not authorise a motorcycle or moped to proceed. Their green light does not override the red light controlling your lane.
