Green arrow with red light

What it means

You may enter the intersection without stopping, but only in the direction the arrow points. Every other movement must wait for the red light to change.

Summarised from the Alberta Driver’s Guide. Read the original: Traffic control ↗

How to recognise it

Where you will see it

Signalized intersections with a separate phase for one movement, most often a left turn.

What to do when you see it

  1. 1.You may enter the intersection without stopping, but only in the direction the arrow points.
  2. 2.Every other movement is still governed by the red light: stop and wait.
  3. 3.Watch for pedestrians and vehicles still clearing the intersection before you go.

On the knowledge test

The arrow outranks the red only for its own direction. A question may ask whether you can go straight: with this display, no.
