Arrows
Section 130 (1) of the Motor Vehicle Act indicates that when a green arrow is exhibited at an intersection by a traffic control signal,
(a) the driver of a vehicle facing the green arrow may cause it to enter the intersection and to make only the movement indicated by the green arrow, but must yield the right of way to pedestrians lawfully in the intersection or in an adjacent crosswalk and to other vehicles lawfully in the intersection.
Red light
Section 129 (1) of the Motor Vehicle Act indicates that when a red light alone is exhibited at an intersection by a traffic control signal, the driver of a vehicle approaching the intersection and facing the red light must cause it to stop before entering the marked crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if there is no marked crosswalk, before entering the intersection, must not cause the vehicle to proceed until a traffic control signal instructs the driver that he or she is permitted to do so.
When there is a dedicated left turn signal traffic control light that turns yellow to red, then a vehicle indicating a left turn must not proceed until the green arrow is activated. Failure to comply means you have failed to stop for red light at intersection which carries a fine of $167 and 2 points.
Some intersections have left turn green arrow traffic control lights where the arrow will turn yellow indicating left turn vehicle traffic must stop. The yellow light will then turn green in conjunction with through and oncoming traffic. In this instance, it is now the same procedure as a normal intersection without a dedicated left turn arrow. Left turn vehicles may continue to make left turns but must yield to all oncoming traffic, including pedestrians until the left turn may be made safely.
