30 | Driver’s Manual Here is what different traffic lights indicate: STEADY RED:  Stop. Do not go until the light is  green. If a green arrow is shown with the red light,  you can go only toward the arrow and only if the  intersection is clear. You can make a right turn at a steady red light  after you come to a full stop and yield the right-of- way to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. You can  make a left turn at a steady red light when you  turn from a one-way road into another one-way  road after you come to a full stop and yield the  right-of-way to oncoming traffic and pedestrians. You cannot make a turn at a red light if there is  a NO TURN ON RED sign posted or another sign,  signal or pavement marking prevents the turn.  You are not allowed to turn on a red light in New  York City unless a sign that permits it is posted. The driver of a school bus containing students  cannot turn right on any red light. FLASHING RED:  Means the same  as a STOP sign: Stop, yield the  right-of-way, and go when it is safe. RED ARROW:  Do not go in the di- rection of the arrow until the red arrow light is off  and a green light or arrow light goes on. A right or  left turn on red is not permitted at a red arrow. STEADY YELLOW:  Be prepared to  stop. A steady yellow light means  the traffic signal is about to turn red. FLASHING YELLOW : Drive with  caution. YELLOW ARROW:  The protection of a green  arrow will end. If you intend to turn in the direction  of the arrow, be prepared to stop. STEADY GREEN:  Go, but yield the  right-of-way to other traffic at the  intersection as required by law (see  Chapter 5). GREEN ARROW:  You can go in the  direction of the arrow, but you must  yield the right-of-way to other traffic  at the intersection as required by  law (see Chapter 5). STEADY YELLOW “X”:  Move from this lane. STEADY RED “X”:  Do not drive in this lane. FLASHING YELLOW “X”:  This lane can only be  used for a left turn. GREEN ARROW:  You can use this lane.  Lines and symbols on the roadway divide lanes  and tell you when you can pass other vehicles or  change lanes. They also tell you which lanes to  use for turns and where you must stop for signs  or traffic signals. The arrows on these illustrations  show the direction of traffic. Solid lines along the side of the road tell you  where its edge is – where the travel lane ends  and the shoulder begins. It is illegal to drive  across the edge line, except when told to by a  police officer or other authorized official or when  allowed by an official sign. An edge line that  angles towards the center of the road shows that  the road is narrower ahead.
