Final answer:
When there is a steady lighted red arrow pointing left at an intersection of two two-way streets, drivers are not permitted to proceed in that direction.
Step-by-step explanation:
When there is a steady lighted red arrow pointing left at an intersection of two two-way streets, drivers are not permitted to proceed in that direction. The red arrow indicates that left turns are prohibited until the arrow turns green or is replaced by a steady green light. Drivers must wait for the arrow to change before making a left turn.
A STEADY RED ARROW means you must stop and may not turn in the direction the arrow points. Wait for a Green Arrow or a Flashing Yellow Arrow before you start. The same turns-on-red that are allowed for a steady red signal are allowed for a steady red arrow.
At many locations where the City uses protected only left turns, the need for traffic to stop when needed is emphasize by using two red circular indications or two red arrows.
