[image] Green light

A green light means you may turn left, go straight or turn right after yielding to vehicles and pedestrians already in the intersection.

When turning left or right you must yield the right-of-way to pedestrians crossing the intersection.

[image] Yellow light

A yellow - or amber - light means the red light is about to appear.

You must stop if you can do so safely; otherwise, go with caution.

[image] Red light

A red light means you must stop. Bring your vehicle to a complete stop at the stop line if it is marked on the pavement.

If there is no stop line, stop at the crosswalk, marked or not.

If there is no crosswalk, stop at the edge of the sidewalk.

If there is no sidewalk, stop at the edge of the intersection.

Wait until the light changes to green and the intersection is clear before moving through it.

Unless a sign tells you not to, you may turn right on a red light only after coming to a complete stop and waiting until the way is clear.

You may also turn left on a red light if you are moving from a one-way road onto a one-way road, but you must come to a complete stop first and wait until the way is clear.

Lights and arrows to help turning vehicles
Flashing green lights and green arrows direct drivers who are turning.

[image] Advance green light or arrow

When you face a flashing green light or a left-pointing green arrow and a green light, you may turn left, go straight ahead or turn right from the proper lane.

This is called an advanced green light because oncoming traffic still faces a red light.

Pedestrians must not cross on a flashing green light unless a pedestrian signal tells them to.

[image] When a left-turn green arrow is shown with a red light, you may turn left from the left-turn lane.

Vehicles turning left from the opposite direction may also be making left turns because they too face a left-turn green arrow.

Pedestrians must not cross on a left-turn green arrow unless a pedestrian signal tells them to.

[image] After the left-turn green arrow, a yellow arrow may appear. This means the green light is about to appear for traffic in one or both directions.

Do not start your left turn.

Stop if you can do so safely; otherwise, complete your turn with caution.

[image] You can still turn left when the light is green, but only when the way is clear of traffic and pedestrians.

If the light turns red when you are in the intersection, complete your turn when it is safe.

[image]Transit priority signals

Traffic and pedestrians must yield to public transit vehicles at a transit priority signal.

The round signal is on top of a regular traffic signal and shows a white vertical bar on a dark background.

This allows transit vehicles to go through, turn right or left, while all conflicting traffic faces a red light.

What does the white line mean?

White lines separate traffic travelling in the same direction.
