You are driving through a residential area in Florida and notice a square, white sign with a green circle containing a white arrow pointing right. What does this sign indicate?
- AA right turn is permitted on a red light after stopping.
- BA right turn is required at the intersection.
- CThis lane is for right-turning traffic only.
- DA right turn is permitted, and you may proceed without stopping if the way is clear.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: D. A right turn is permitted, and you may proceed without stopping if the way is clear.
A square white sign with a green circle and a white arrow indicates a permissive movement. In this case, a right turn is permitted, and drivers may proceed without stopping if the path is clear, much like a green arrow traffic signal.
Why the other options are wrong
- A. This sign indicates a permissive turn, not a right turn on red.
- B. A mandatory turn would typically be indicated by a black arrow on a white sign, sometimes with a 'ONLY' text.
- C. A 'Right Turn Lane' sign would be a rectangular white sign with black text and/or an arrow.
Permissive Turn Sign (Green Circle)
A square white sign with a green circle containing a white arrow, indicating that the marked turn is permitted and can be made without stopping if the path is clear.
- White square sign with a green circle.
- White arrow within the green circle indicates the permitted movement.
- Allows the turn without stopping, similar to a green arrow traffic light.
Memory trick: Green circle, clear path, go without a gasp.
