For what reason must a driver check if the traffic lights at an intersection have additional arrow lights?

Question

DentroTest · Accepted Answer

Drivers must observe these signals to anticipate and select the appropriate lane for their destination. Additional arrows (usually green on a black background) allow traffic to proceed in the indicated direction. If a driver positions themselves in a lane regulated by one of these arrows and it turns on, they may be forced to turn in that direction (even if they do not wish to) if they are blocking other vehicles behind them. Therefore, observation is necessary to avoid being forced to follow a direction that does not suit their destination.
