Traffic Control Signals - red,yellow or green lights that control the flow of traffic at intersections or where roads merge. The color determines which stream of traffic has the right of way. Solid Red Light - drivers must stop before the line or crosswalk, if there is no line or crosswalk drivers must stop before the intersection. A solid double light is the same as a single red light. Right Turn at Red Light - unless a sign prohibits so, a driver may turn right after stopping before a line or crosswalk if the turn can be made safely after yielding to other traffic Solid Yellow Light - warns that the light will change to red,drivers must prepare to stop or clear the intersection. Unless they cannot stop safely the driver can continue,drivers already in the intersection may continue to drive safely. If there is no crosswalk stop before the intersection. Solid Green Light - a "state" green light means the light will turn yellow soon. Green Arrow with Green Light - driver may enter the intersection and proceed without yielding in the direction indicated by the arrow. Drivers facing the green light may proceed in the other direction when it is safe and legal. Yield - Indicates a merging driver needs to stop if necessary to let another driver proceed. A driver that stops or slows has yielded the right of way to that vehicle. - To Traffic not facing the sign and pedestrians who merge within the crosswalk or intersection. Green Arrow with Red Light - drivers may proceed without stopping only in the direction of the arrow Flashing Red Light - drivers must stop before the stop line or crosswalk.
