- DYou may turn right without stopping if there is no oncoming traffic.
Show answer & explanationAnswer & explanation
Correct answer: A. You must stop and wait for a green arrow or a steady green light before turning right.
A steady red arrow signal means that you must stop and are prohibited from turning in the direction of the arrow until a green arrow or a steady green light appears. Unlike a steady red circular light, a red arrow specifically prohibits the turn even after stopping.
Why the other options are wrong
- B. This is incorrect. A steady red arrow specifically prohibits the turn until a green signal appears.
- C. You must wait for any green signal (arrow or circular) that permits the turn, not just a steady green light.
- D. Turning without stopping is never permitted at a red signal, arrow or otherwise.
Steady Red Arrow Signal (Florida)
A traffic signal indicating that a turn in the direction of the arrow is prohibited, even after stopping.

Memory trick: Red arrow means 'no go,' green arrow means 'let's go!'
