Australian Capital Territory · Road Rules Knowledge Test · Intersections

A red arrow points in the direction you want to travel. What must you do?

The answer

  • Proceed if no other vehicle is coming
  • Give way, then proceed when clear
  • Stop at the stop line and do not travel in the arrow's direction Correct
  • Treat it as a give way sign

Why that's the answer

A red arrow means you must not travel in the direction of the arrow, and you must stop at the stop line marked on the road on the approach to the intersection. A clear road makes no difference.
