If you see a red traffic light on your left and a green one on your right, and you intend to continue straight ahead, which one must you obey?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

This is a specific signaling priority rule. Traffic Regulations state that when there are traffic lights on both sides of the road with different indications, the light on the right applies exclusively to drivers turning right. For any other direction, meaning to turn left or go straight ahead, you must always obey the traffic light situated on the left (or above the road if present). Therefore, since you want to go straight, the red light applies to you.
