What does a black arrow displayed on a steady red traffic light indicate?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

A black arrow on a steady red light (or steady yellow) alters the scope of the signal, but not its prohibiting nature. It indicates that the prohibition to pass imposed by the red light applies exclusively to vehicles intending to take the direction indicated by the arrow. Therefore, drivers continuing in other directions are not affected by this specific red light, although they must observe other signals relevant to them. It is incorrect to assume the traffic light is broken or that it allows free turning without respecting priority.
