New South Wales · Driver Knowledge Test (DKT) · Road rules

The right turn arrow is green but the main traffic light is red. What may you do?

The answer

  • Only turn right — you must stop if you are not turning that way Correct
  • Turn right only after stopping completely
  • Nothing — a red light overrides the arrow
  • Go straight ahead or turn right

Why that's the answer

The green arrow lets you turn in that direction. The red light means you must stop if you are not turning the way the green arrow points.
